Flow

This event contains adult themes including the disclosure of childhood sexual abuse – viewer discretion advised.

Amy is preparing for her art exhibition when a comment reignites traumatic childhood memories. She wants help but struggles with family loyalty. This film, inspired by interviews with victims/survivors, employs the power of storytelling to spark debate about how we, as a society, hinder the disclosure of childhood sexual abuse.

About the project

This film is based on interviews with people who are recovering from childhood sexual abuse. Thank you to all those people who shared their stories. The creation of this film was inspired by Dr Claire Cunnington’s Wellcome Trust funded research at the University of Sheffield and the film itself was funded by Research England. The film launch was chaired by Dr Michaela Rogers and Professor Parveen Ali from The University of Sheffield Interpersonal Violence and Abuse Research (ShIVAR) network.
