- Summary:
- This poignant documentary profiles a young black woman's struggle to confront the legacy of a physically abusive father and her headlong flight into drug abuse. Suzanne, after years of physical and psychological abuse, is compelled to understand her father's violence and her mother's passive complicity, who suffered at her husband's hands as well, as the keys to her own self-destruction. After years of silence, Suzanne and her mother are finally able to share their painful experiences with each other in an intensely moving moment of truth. A remarkably incisive short documentary film, much more than one woman's story of abuse and addiction, SUZANNE, SUZANNE captures the nature and spirit of a troubled family.
