Kiera Knightley's PSA on Domestic Violence (UK)



Kiera Knightley starred in this public service announcement in 2009 for Women's Aid, a UK charity. The video features an extremely graphic domestically violent scenario. Does the public service announcement reach its goal to shed light on domestic violence? Are more public service announcements necessary like this one? Is the UK eliminating domestic violence with more direct awareness?
Please join the discussion and leave a comment. "2 women die from domestic violence a week" the public service announcement states. By starting the conversation, you can help save lives.
