“As Mark Wynn’s story tells us, domestic abuse is a deeper root and normalizer of violence than all the wars combined. Ending it is a path to peace.” - Gloria Steinem

“It's a film for everyone, but especially for men who want ideas -- and inspiration -- about how to make a difference in a culture that is sadly still awash in misogyny and violence.” - Jackson Katz, Ph.D
