Wiseman returns to Hillsborough County, Florida, the setting of his film
Domestic Violence (which screened at the Walker in 2002), though,
as Variety notes, "[f]amiliarity with the first film is in no way
a requisite for appreciation of what Wiseman does here." Beginning with
the response of Tampa police to a 911 call, Wiseman follows a series of
domestic abuse cases into arraignment and court, where lawyers and judges
ask questions that elicit riveting stories of couples' conflicts and the
ensuing violence that led them to the judicial system. 2002, U.S., color,
16mm, 159 minutes. Screened as part of Get Real: City Pages Documentary
Film Festival; proceeds will benefit the St. Paul Domestic Abuse Intervention
Project.
