Starr is a beautiful woman who finds herself sitting on the witness stand fighting not only for her present life but for her future. Looking out over a crowd of her family members who support her, the judge and jury that she is speaking passionately too and on the other side of the courtroom is her ex-husband is present. Having the right to stand before his accuser he speaks to him candidly and about him. This man she chose to marry who abused her and put her in this position. She takes her time in detailing and explaining the things that happened to her in their abusive marriage while also making it a point to remind everyone that unfortunately it is difficult and sad, but our truth is that women are often not believed. It took her many years to gain the courage and strength to walk out but as she has walked into this courtroom, she realizes that it's possible that the things her husband drilled into her head are true. That she will never be able to escape him, no one will ever believe her crazy stories, and that just like all other women she is not to be trusted. This is a story reflects on the idea that being a victim is difficult in and of itself but made a thousand times more traumatic when the victim finally finds the strength to speak, and no one will listen.
