Trailer- Lioness - How Far Will You Go to Protect Your Child?

It’s a topic few want to speak about. Yet, 1 in 4 women and 1 in 9 men experience severe intimate partner physical violence that often tears them and their family apart with serious scars. Barricaded in a motel room, the multi award-winning short film Lioness, now streaming on Omeleto, tells the story of a mother’s determination and primal instincts to protect her child's innocence with only one line of dialogue. Partially inspired by a true event, Lioness, is a moving and powerful look at the bonds of parenthood in a frightful situation. As an accredited media sponsor at the 2022 Vaughan International Film Festival’s Short Film Screening, I caught up with Sara Oliva: Actress (playing “The Mother”), Writer, and Producer of the movie to talk about why she created the film, the rise in domestic violence since COVID, how many times it takes to leave an abuser, how far a mother will go to protect her child, and much more! This film is a must-see for anyone who has personally experienced or knows someone who has been the victim of domestic violence or abuse.  There is help, and a way out.
