The premier
screening is celebrating the release of their DVD “I Have This Friend”, which isanentertaining,
dramatic, compelling video of a live stage performance sure to engage the
hearts and minds of young people everywhere.
With a team of talented writers, composers
and performers, we launched “Domestic Violence the Musical”,
which has been met with standing ovations. After several years of International
and national tours, Fix The Hurthas
added “Control.Assault.Delete” and “I Have This Friend”
to the lineup of training programs.
In “I Have This Friend”, observe as a young man writes a forty-five minute story about dating
violence and the characters of his play try to control his writing. Your heart
nearly breaks as a young girl, who has been murdered by her boyfriend, sings
“The Me I Could Have Been.” See the “Red Flag” scurry across the stage each
time an issue occurs, telling us the signs to watch out for in a dating
relationships. Watch as parents and others become aware of the true danger of
dating violence and start to make changes.
1.5 million teens experience physical abuse from dating partners
nationwide each year. Violent relationships in
adolescence can have serious ramifications by putting the victims at higher
risk for substance abuse, eating disorders, risky sexual behavior, suicidal and
homicidal risks, we have decided to put I Have This Friend on DVD to expand our
ability to get this training into as many hands as possible.
Fix The Hurt has presented training in military installations, prisons,
colleges and high schools from California to North Carolina. Our goal is to increase the awareness of one
of the toughest social issues of the time.
