Reel Weekend Watchlist Selection - TO LOVE, HONOR & OBEY
"TO LOVE, HONOR AND OBEY collects numerous interviews with survivors, abusive partners, social workers, and police officers. The focus is still clearly on the women's voices, whether they're seeking, or providing, help. Theirs is a powerful testimony about holding onto sisterhood for survival." - Monica Castillo, Village Voice
