Survivor Made

A film by Drew Denny

ABOUT THE FILM

1 in 4 women and 1 in 2 trans people in the U.S. will experience Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), and the #1 obstacle to a survivor’s safety is financial insecurity. SURVIVOR MADE follows a group of survivors as they defy the odds - building their own thriving businesses in Los Angeles, lobbying for change in Washington DC, and fighting to prove that investing in survivors saves lives.

DISTRIBUTION

PRESS

"[Survivor Made] does not depict any instances of violence on screen, and though it includes discussions of it, the film follows survivors as they’re working to discover financial independence and again find joy in their lives."

INDIEWIRE

"The documentary lives up to its name. The film is made by domestic abuse survivors, for survivors. And because they know better than anyone the importance of sharing within a community, the filmmakers have taken a unique step in releasing it."

INDIEWIRE

"Padma Lakshmi rocks a denim suit while attending a special screening of 'Survivor Made' in New York City on Nov. 22."
