Hey everyone! I cannot thank you all enough for the love and support this little short film I made well over a year ago has received. In honor of over 200,000 views, I’ll be making a Q+A video soon about this short film along with other projects on my channel! Please leave any questions you have as a reply to this for a potential shoutout and answer in the Q+A!! :D

“You’ll be fine” SHES NOT FINE YOU NEED TO BE A GOOD FRIEND AND CALL THE POLICE AND GET YOUR FRIEND OUT.

Her friend knew and that is what makes this even more sad. 😢😠

He took away something a mother will never get back 😭

Kinda disappointed that the friend didn't try to help or anything

i could see why see wanted her friend to stay so badly Her so called friend is stupid she shoulda knew what was going down in that house from the very beginning

i hate the friend

If I’d watched this before understanding love I wouldn’t understand why the girlfriend didn’t just leave. Now I can see why she doesn’t and it breaks my heart that she feels like she needs to stay

Police have got to be involved in this situation

I am literally going through the same thing and I have no friends that would help me. Most of them that offered help seem to ignore me or think this is a joke ! I'm glad I know about shelters and I'm pregnant as well. It's really scary and it's more scary to be pregnant and ACTUALLY knowing you want to have your baby. I'm waiting for him to go to work so I can call the shelter and leave

First of all the friend needs to care more and second somebody needs to call 911

Ladies, when a man is beating you it’s not love it is abuse and tell some one if this has happened to you or is happening to you!👍🏽

why do girls always use that dumb excuse "i fell" a fall doesnt give u scratches or brusies

A hard place to get out of. It is possible. Don't give up. I survived. YOU can too.

She: I’m pregnant I can’t “Friend”: 👁👄👁 She: *visible marks* “Friend”: 👁👄👁 She: *obviously gettin abused* “Friend:” 👁👄👁

True Love Does Not Hurt You Physically

Sad in every way

If I was that friend, I'd be at that house for hours because I know that her friend knew about it.

Powerful Message,Great Story

This is sad..Just looking at this just makes me feel that us as women aline have to go through so much💔..we as females are care givers, we are a big part in how this world is still around because without us there would be no reproductions💯 and then we have to put up with the world..My prayers just go out to ANYONE that has to go through this

“Fuken wanna go donkeh?!!?”

The friend in this scenario is not to blame; the abuser is. DV is a complex issue. Friends who ‘tell’ friends who are being victimized are often cut out of that person’s life. Always and only hold the batterer accountable.

Abusive men are often triggered by a wife's pregnancy. They may feel her whole attention isn't on them, or fear that her primary loyalty will be to the child. Beating her into a miscarriage, or attempting to do so, is not at all uncommon. Murder is not unheard of. Scott and Laci Peterson, q.v.

"How are you and David is everything okay?" Do you not see the fucking big ass bruise on her beautiful face?! Wthh

I am watching this with no sound bc my family are all asleep and I still find it terrible and heart-breaking

Love does not hurt! Abuse is not love! Never confuse abuse with love, 2 very different subjects.

Uh Hello! Your friend is getting hit and punched by her psycho husband! (Hint: DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT)

My tia went through this with a stupid childish guy she stopped visiting our family cut off contact with us. She left him and is now with a man who is so protective and sweet I’m happy for her now

The sad thing is I was in a situation like this, I was the child and this used to be my house and this doe happen, I have ptsd because of it, if you know someone who’s going through something like this PLAESE help them

You've done an excellent job portraying a very tough but Very Real problem in this world! Some will get it right away and others will get it later on because they've never seen Domestic Abuse/Violence. They don't know how to recognize it unless it is very overt and in your face obvious. I've seen on here some comment about the friend who should have done something or at least stayed to help her friend. Unless you've been in a situation like this you may not understand was that the friend Was helping. She didn't want to stay and wind up in a fight with his herself which he would have blamed on his girlfriend and possibly made her situation worse. She keeps visiting her friend and waiting until her friend is ready to face it and wants to get out. Another thing to understand is that he didn't want the baby at all. He had been waiting for an "excuse", for her to give him a "reason" to get physical with her so that in his mind he wasn't to blame for the "accident" in which she would lose the baby. That's what these disgusting creatures do but they never own up to who they are. Thank You again Daniel and to all of those who assisted you in this project!

Very well cinematacially shown, a story in which many can relate too. Well done team.

That was a bit odd. The friend didnt care. Her stomach was down to nothing already and I assume they meant it to be like she had a miscarriage. At that late term and with her having fresh bruises and cuts on her face, if that had been the result of the first part of the story she would have still looked very much pregnant. When you loose a child late term and were previously showing it doesnt just disappear. Even when you give birth you do not just go right back to normal within a day or three which is the longest those bruises and cuts would still look that way. I dont know it just took my attention off the short as it just seemed very unresearched which was odd as the production seemed to be fairly good. It didnt really make me care about the girl either.

When he walked out the door it looked like he went into a closet

Everyone talking about the friend but some of y'all have probably never been put in this situation the friend could have tried before she even got pregnant but u can't really help someone that doesn't won't help unfortunately this is a every day thing and it's sad because the woman believes that this is love it took me years 2 figure out this wasn't love I was physically abused mentally abused emotionally abused and verbally abused with my last relationship I figured out what attracted me 2 all of them so that I wouldn't find the same demon in a different person and now I'm finally happy and finally where I belong

we need to stop the abuse pls we need to stop the abuse and all the violence in the world pls God stop the violence God pls we need to stop it now now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now pls God stop the Damm violence

For all of those questioning why the friend didn't help, that's pretty common in these situations. Quite often it doesn't matter who you tell or what you say, none of them will help you. Instead you'll be told that it's somehow your fault, that you're exaggerating, that he's just depressed, that you just "need to be nicer to him", etc. More often than not you have to got to the police yourself and be brave enough to tell them what is going on and not get talked out of it by your abuser. There is actually a pretty horrific account on youtube of a man dying after his female partner attacked him for the umpteenth time. He finally admitted she was the one beating him and then when she was arrested he felt guilty and changed his statement because he didn't want to get her in trouble. The police visited him in icu and he seemed to be back on board with giving a true statement but he died the next day. She was finally convicted because of his death, but she got off very lightly.

I feel so sorry for her. Her friend didn't notice that she was hiding her begging when she asked her to stay for tea. She knows he won't hurt her when someone else is around and she wanted her to stay 😥

The thing that makes this worse is because my sister went through this and her bf's name was David, and she got pregnant, she had a miscarriage thought. :/ this hits close

i watched this to get ideas for a book i'm writing and i never thought it would trigger something in me to reimagine my parents in that position again...

If she was my friend I would have taken her out of there. That is so very sad to me her friend was not a real friend to me. Men don't know but they have to answer to God for each and everything they do to a woman.

I've read through the comments and honestly, some are awful " this is bs " " this doesn't happen" honestly some people need to open their eyes to the real world, god forbid this happens to their kids or themselves one day.

“How’s things with you and David” she has black eyes!

I gasped so hard when her stomach was flat I was like where did the baby go and then I was like ooooooooo

Frfr. Y'all gotta stop this abuse😭💔

So many comments blaming the friend or worse, blaming the victim for staying. That’s the point of this clip, if you see something, speak up. And if you’re in an abusive relationship & think it will get better... think again. Ask for help.

The clip is amazing I been on the reviving end when expecting I am blessed I am not in that relationship

Why are there so many comments about the friend not helping?? How about the person who is abusing his pregnant wife/girlfriend? The sole person responsible for their own actions. Yes, it would be nice if the friend helped, but letting her friend know she is there for her might be the best help you can give. Even if she "helps" her friend more, such as taking her to live with her doesn't mean she won't get back. Leaving a relationship in a domestic abuse relationship is the most dangerous time. You cannot just walk in and say your leaving him now. There are layers and layers to all abusive relationships that are complicated, emotionally, physically , and psychologically. We don’t know the circumstances between the two friends. She invited her to a party, that probably was a way that she could get her friend away to talk. Who knows, but the blame is on the abuser, no one else. No one deserves this type of abuse, especially a woman carrying a child. Placing blame only keeps victims and their loved ones in a place of shame, not a place of healing or safety.

Honestly..life hurts 😰

Im confused what happened to the baby did she give birth or did it die??

Is that baby ok??OMG you can really hurt it after that fall!!!

This was my father. He recently passed away from cancer. I don't miss him.

When your pregnant and your going thru that your baby could die I would call the cops

I feel like her friend knew what was going on but didn't even try to help her

I couldn't even understand what the guy said

what's the song in this video?

When the kettle was burning, I was hoping the girl would take it and dump it on her boyfriend.

Ive went through this. 16 yrs. Ago. Im an American. My ex hit me alot. Was jealous. When we moved in together i thought it would get better. It didnt. I walked on eggshells all tje time. One day after 4 urs of neing together and almost a year living together. I wemt back home. I found out i was pregnant. Then i was jappy i got out when i did. But to this day i still think about it out of blue and have nightmares. I was diagnosed with PTSD.

The friend knew, and didn't even do anything to help 😣

I’m sure we all know that she’s not a “friend”, she would of helped that girl out If she was! 💔

what is the name of the piano instrumental please

I hate when people say “you shouldn’t hit a woman”. You shouldn’t be hitting anyone man, woman, or child. Nobody deserves to be hit EVER! LEARN TO KEEP YOUR HAMDS TO YOURSELVES! And if you know someone who is getting abused don’t just sit down and pretend like you don’t know. They are living every day with the pain and abuse while your just watching hoping something/one is going to do something. That is not a friend at all

Wow, what a friend.

A real story of my friend. His father abuses his mother for more than 10 years. He tried to fight his father and was not successful because he was too young. Luckily, his mother and his sister and he were not got Stockholm syndrome. They didn’t enjoy being abused at all, even for more than 10 years. When he got a job at age 20, he takes his mother and his sister away from his father to live with him, his mother divorce from his father immediately. After that, his father begs for forgiving. It was too late, there should be no merci to any abuser. It has been another 30 years, they refuse to let the father to see them, let him suffer from what he did.

What a terrible friend. She should have notified the police the first time she saw signs of abuse. And she shouldn’t have left her alone with him.

When I was five months pregnant my first husband hit me so hard across my face he knocked me backwards off a seat

Can she really be called a friend? I would've thrown myself over at the edge of the world before I allow that to happen to not only the people I know, but anyone else. The signs are there for a reason

HER FRIEND WASNT CONFUSED OR SOMETHING ABOUT HOW HER FRIEND HAS A HECKING BRUISE ON HER FACE

I use to get beat by my ex now I've been free for 2 years already he tried looking for me but Im long gone. I am married now and he treats me well. But i still have nightmares of him beating me💔

I always stood up for my used to be close female friend. Always. She didn't help me though.

But when everyone's heat he's like nice to her but alone with him he's like abusive

I love the editing work too. Very well done.Keziah and Hannah - your going places you two!

So sorry 😦

People are saying the friend is not a very good one but sometimes when your friend is so in love and is being abused nothing that you say get acknowledged by them so in this case I wouldn’t really blame the friend. She’s trying her best to be there for her.

nobody should not have go through this man or woman

Hitting a women if your married dosent give u the right to hurt her u could go yo jail if u hit your wife it's never to late to get the help u need

James Cagney's Gangster characters would fuck this guy up completely

*IT DIDNT EVEN HAVE A HAPPY ENDING LIKE WTF*

Other Girls: "Oh nono, I fell" Me: "ACTUALLY I AM SINGLLLEEE I GOT PUNCHED BY A DOGGGGG"

So sad!!😥

This video shouldn’t have any dislikes

Her friend should of fake leave on the sec time and rec everything to take to the cops

It's just sickening that he would strike a pregnant woman and her friend knew?? Yeah that's one heck of a twisted tale

This should be a movie

And her friend sits there, talking about her night, like everything is great. Not saying anything about her black eye, the guy who did it is in the other room. Not even a good friend.

I don't get it did she have a miscarriage or she was just fat? 😕

Apparently love literally hurts

That ‘Friend’ is no friend😟.

I went through this my self my first use to beat me a lot an caused me damage To my knees an leggs scars on both neese an mentail as well love isnt spoze to hurt so im still go through it every now an thin.

That ‘friend’ is no friend

How does someone fall from a slap to the face

To everyone that comments about the friend not doing enough, if that were you and you called the police then your friend would be dead. Hard truth. The police come round, she stays silent then nothing can be done. He would have got angry again and she may not survive the next beating. Educate yourself about domestic violence first. The only way we can get out a situation like that is by leaving on our own.

I hate the friends she didn’t even do anything to help, even after she knew and still made an excuse to leave

Lads if you're ever in this type of situation you ought to get yourself some time alone with a very close friend or family member and have them help you, the girl in this video was a terrible mate to be with.

I thought the thumbnail was Danielle brogoli

That’s so sad what type of man is he SHES PREGNANT!

If it’s a real story I feel so bad 😭

My husband hit me in the eye .. made me tell everyone I fell in shower . As soon my son seen it he said ur coming to my place and not going back til he's gone . He called police for me to get my things .. he said I called cops to protect his ass Bec I wanted to beat him ... We are in final divorce .. seriously .. no man should put his hands on u unless it's a hug or loving touch ..

Love dose not Hurt love is like heaven

Him:*burns himself* “*to girl* LOOK WHAT YOU FRICKEN DID!!”
