Phoenix Rising - Season 1 - Episode 2

Produced and directed by Academy Award nominee Amy Berg, PHOENIX RISING follows actress Evan Rachel Wood as she takes her experience as a survivor of domestic violence to pursue justice, heal generational wounds, and reclaim her story. At age 18, Wood was pursued by then 37-year-old Brian Warner – known to the world as rock icon Marilyn Manson. Escaping their dangerous relationship nearly a decade later, Wood courageously uses her own experience to bring visibility to domestic violence, co-authoring California's Phoenix Act, which extends the statute of limitations for domestic violence felonies. Featuring archival footage, intimate home videos, and candid testimony from Wood and other survivors, the two-part documentary sheds light on the factors that prevent survivors from coming forward while charting Wood's journey to becoming a domestic violence advocate.Show more
