Human Touch: Pain and Power

Film · 1995

In a powerful and moving reclamation of the body and human touch, this video documents how survivors of sexual abuse reaffirm their sexuality and physical selves. Intercutting dance footage, interviews and monologues, four survivors reflect on shame and recovery. The video explores how the treatment of children manifests itself in adult life--and how survivors reshape their perception of their bodies, their relationship to others and to human touch.
