PICTURE PERFECT

 They say a picture is worth a thousand words.

As such, OasisAgainstViolence has compiled a list of motion pictures, designed to educate our survivor community on the disturbing nature of Social and Domestic Violence.

May they unveil the plight of all who suffer, many in silence, so as to continue to raise awareness of such a destructive phenomena happening all over the world.

And best of all, may they serve to teach our women and girls that THERE IS NO WAR IN LOVE.

Some abusers will stop at nothing to destroy the lives of those they seek to get and keep power and dominion over.

Sexual exploitation and Sex Trafficking has always been connected to Social and Domestic Violence, and for so many victims trapped within such harmful groups, the effects of this type of financial exploitation and financial slavery can prove devastating.

GASLIGHT - 1944

When those within our intimate relationships seek to harm us, they are apt to employ the tools of gas lighting - the intentional and destructive means of altering the victim's perception of themselves and their self-identifying attributes, the perceptions of the abuser themselves and what their actual aim is within the relationship, and likewise, the "world" around the victim, so as to reframe and exploit, extort and destroy, in aim of carrying out their nefarious and malevolent aim within the relationship.

ENOUGH - 2002

As survivors, we take back our power and the qualities of our lives from those that seek to socially, physiologically, financially, or even spiritually harm us when we say - enough is enough.

While most viewers deem this film exotic, it is anything but. Abusers, manipulators, and perpetrators of violence can take an array of shapes, even of seemingly faultless quality.
