A Woman’s Place (AWP) is sponsoring Domestic Violence Awareness Month this October. AWP is thrilled to be a part of the movie premiere of HIDE, written and directed by Doylestown native Ben Samuels. It is a “contained psychological thriller capturing the terror and dread of emotional gaslighting as a resilient wife fights to escape her abusive husband during the pandemic lockdown.” Filmed largely in Doylestown, Ben has cast a spotlight on the complexities of domestic violence through the eyes of one survivor. The movie’s premiere will happen at the County Theater in Doylestown on Sunday, October 1st at 7:00 pm. AWP is partnering with Ben Samuels to raise funds for AWP to bring awareness. A Q & A session will be held afterward. Tickets for this AWP fundraiser are available online at the County Theater: HIDE – Sun 1 Oct 7:00 PM – County Theater (veezi.com) The trailer for HIDE can be found here: County Theater – HIDE
