KNOTS: A Forced marriage Story / Film School Radio interview with Director Kate Brewer

KNOTS : A FORCED MARRIAGE STORY explores forced and child marriages, which are occurring legally across the United States every day. Fraidy is an Ultra-Orthodox Jewish teen in Brooklyn when she's coerced into marrying an abusive man. In Michigan, young Christian Nina's father forces her to marry a man he chose. In California, Sara is fifteen when she's kidnapped by her father and forced to marry a 28-year-old man. Each of them face an unimaginable journey. Each must find the strength to survive, and thrive. Director Kate Brewer reveals the disturbing truth about this problem in modern America through the complicated experience of three forced marriage survivors. Nina, Sara, and Fraidy share intimate details of their personal journeys of surviving, escaping and ultimately becoming powerful voices in the historic fight to end the human rights abuse of forced marriage. Director Kate Brewer joins us to talk about modern day stories of forced marriage, violent physical and psychological abuse and the human trafficking of tens of thousands of young women throughout America and the three determined and courageous women who make up the backbone of this illuminating film. KNOTS : A FORCED MARRIAGE STORY will be released via The Laemmle both theatrically and on their digital platform on May 7th followed by a wider digital release June 4th.
