Violent, Aggressive, Abusive, 3 very dreadful words to use in a sentence, to make it even more unpleasant (excuse my french!) it is a definition for something equally horrible

"Violent, or aggressive behaviour within the home, typically involving the violent abuse of a spouse or partner"

Domestic violence is an epidemic that only intensifies over time and never ends mentally in the mind of the abused, it leaves a devastating scar on both abused and abuser as well as everyone/anyone within that home: a literal Nightmare


Saving Dreams, a movie directed by Isioro T. Jaboro, is based on real life events. a woman Brenda Jackson (Karen Simpson) with dreams of stardom, marries a powerful man, Steve Reeds (Martin Lindquist) who promises to introduce her to people in the music business. But instead, he abuses her while running a foundation that protects abused women. Surprisingly, he asks her to sing at a fund raiser for his new foundation. At that banquet, she meets Bayo Franklyn, (Nosa Obaseki) a music producer who gives her his card. When Brenda stumbles into Reeds having an affair with Amanda Brook (Cai Gallant). Brenda takes that opportunity to make her escape. Now on her own, she starts a new life and reconnects with Bayo who gets her a record deal. Brenda’s song becomes a hit. Relieved, Brenda and Bayo make plans for their wedding, but Reeds has one more secret in his sick arsenal that may pierce their future happiness forever.

Saving Dreams has won many awards globally as it puts an effort to sensitizing the public on the dangers of Domestic Violence, remember to always offer the following to an abused person, Help, Support, Advice and Guidance.
