BEYOND SURVIVAL shines a light on the "Domestic Violence Survivors Justice Act," a ground-breaking law that allows sentencing courts to consider the nuanced impact of abuse that contributed to a crime, providing for an alternative to mandatory minimums that perpetuate cycles of criminalization. Featuring survivors freed under the DVSJA law, survivors denied resentencing, campaign leaders, legislators, judges, and activists who spent 10 years advocating for and enacting the law in NY State, the film offers a powerful and consequential lens on the connection that must be made between domestic violence and criminal violence.
