Private Violence (HBO Documentary Films)_  by [Eliana Dockterman](https://time.com/author/eliana-dockterman/)  ## Eliana Dockterman Correspondent Sep 23, 2014 5:42 PM UTC  by [Eliana Dockterman](https://time.com/author/eliana-dockterman/)  ## Eliana Dockterman Correspondent Sep 23, 2014 5:42 PM UTC One in four American women experiences domestic violence, and yet it is one of the most underreported crime. In the upcoming HBO documentary _Private Violence_, two survivors of domestic abuse share their stories in honor of National Domestic Violence Awareness month in October. The new documentary comes on the heels of the debate over [domestic violence in the NFL](http://time.com/3393229/nfl-domestic-violence/) and the [#WhyIStayed campaign](http://time.com/3309687/why-women-stay-in-abusive-relationships/) on Twitter in which victims shared their reasoning for remaining in abusive relationships. It will explore how women become trapped in dangerous situations and why they remain. The film will air on HBO and HBOGo on Oct. 20 at 9 p.m. ## Transcript This last time he almost killed me in front of my daughter. What happened to you, shouldn't happen to anybody ever. It's warm in here. It's not your job to fix broken men. A lot of us think that it is, but it's not. I do this work because I survived a really violent relationship. In the 15 years I've been in law enforcement, I've never seen anybody that was in that kind of shape. The local prosecutor called this a misdemeanor assault. The most you can receive is 150 days in jail. If we weren't gonna do anything, then maybe nothing was gonna be done, and something had to be done. Nobody should get away with what he done to me, my daughters. Nobody.
