SIMA 2023 SYSTEMIC CHANGE AWARD | SPIRIT AND AUDIENCE AWARD WINNER - Brooklyn Film Festival (World Premiere)

Criminalized Survival • Liberation • Grassroots Activism • Generational Trauma • Domestic Violence • Court & Prison System • Post-Traumatic Stress • Gender-Based & Family Violence

AND SO I STAYED is an award-winning documentary about survivors of domestic violence who are unjustly incarcerated for killing their abusers in self-defense. These women paid a steep price with long prison sentences, lost time with loved ones, and painful memories. Formerly incarcerated survivor-advocate Kim Dadou Brown, who met her wife while in prison, is a driving force in the passage of New York’s Domestic Violence Survivors Justice Act (DVSJA), a new law meant to prevent survivors from receiving harsh prison sentences for their acts of survival. Nikki Addimando, a mother of two young children, suffered the consequences when a judge didn’t follow the law’s guidelines. Tanisha Davis, a single mother who was ripped away from her son in 2013, is hopeful the new law is her way out of a harsh prison sentence.

Educational Media Reviews Online | Reviewed by Gisèle Tanasse, University of California Berkeley

The New York Times
"A heartfelt window into domestic abuse."

Chicago Tribune
"Victims of domestic violence see their struggle in film."

ABC | Kyra Phillips, Anchor
"Two directors are shining a light on survivors of abuse."

Vox | Marin Cogan
“In focusing on the stories of survivors, the filmmakers challenge viewers to reconsider some of the dominant narratives about women and violence.”

Prism | Tamar Sarai, Writer
“And So I Stayed disrupts how [true crime] encourages us to think about crime, harm, violence, and those who survive it.”
