Men Behind Closed Doors: Stories For Survival – Interviews With Male Victims of Domestic Violence.

Dallas, Texas Aug 16, 2024 (EMWNews.com) – Award-winning filmmaker Kurtz Frausun has released his latest and most provocative documentary to date, Men Behind Closed Doors: Stories For Survival. This powerful film takes an unflinching look at the lives of men who have endured domestic violence at the hands of women, a topic that remains shrouded in stigma and silence.

With an unconventional recording and editing style, Men Behind Closed Doors presents the harrowing experiences of male survivors, providing them a platform to share their stories of survival and resilience. The documentary also features insights from leading therapists and experts in the field, offering a comprehensive analysis of the psychological and societal impacts of domestic violence against men.

“Domestic violence is often portrayed as a crime with only female victims, but what is not often discussed is how men suffer in silence. This film aims to challenge that narrative and bring much-needed attention to the experiences of male survivors.”

In addition to personal testimonies, Men Behind Closed Doors incorporates statistical research that highlights the prevalence of male victimization in hostile domestic environments, which is often an underreported crime. The film addresses the cultural barriers that prevent men from coming forward, such as fear of judgment, shame, and the pervasive belief that men cannot be victims of abuse.

As a victim of domestic violence himself, Kurtz knew there had to be others like him and wanted to help those struggling.

“By giving these men a voice, I hope to foster greater understanding, empathy, and support for all victims of domestic violence, regardless of gender.”
