About TORN

This is a newsletter about “Torn,” a short film and companion guide dedicated to civil discourse and protection of women. More about the film is at www.torn-film.com.

The narrative film is about a public health researcher who is confronted with online harassment and has to choose between her life and livelihood.

We think it’s an important film, not only because of the bullying subject matter but also because it ultimately supports women who work in the sciences. We need them. And this film can help shed light on the difficulties they face as they try to do their jobs and help society.

After the film is produced, a free online companion guide will be created which is part of a greater social impact campaign to expand awareness of the scope and damage of gender-based violence (online harassment of women). The guide would provide immediate actionable resources and solutions for the problem.

We welcome your support as we go through the process of creating this project. Thanks for sharing this newsletter with your friends.
