What, exactly, constitutes "domestic violence" and what is the profile of its perpetrators? This documentary answers these questions and presents the variety of society's responses to this problem. Journalist Diane Sawyer hosts the program, which takes viewers to Miami, San Diego, Puerto Rico, New Mexico, and Israel. As the program shows, domestic violence among adults of both genders affects children in the household. One of the key components of preventing such violence in the future is to increase awareness and educate the public. Originally aired on PBS, this program discusses "battered woman syndrome" and features interviews with survivors of domestic violence. ~ Steve Blackburn, Rovi
