“The Children’s Voice” is 30-minute documentary about an innovative children’s theatre that celebrates the heroic efforts of abused children and child witnesses of wife assault, to break the cycle of violence in their young lives. The courageous troupe of children, aged 9-12, banded together to collectively write and perform a play “TELL IT-Speak Your Peace on Violence,” based on their life stories and concerns. The film captures the children’s process of growth and empowerment that culminates with excerpts from their triumphant live performance for school groups and the general public. A 60-minute version also available.
