What people are saying…
“You Look A Lot Like Me is a riveting documentary about partner abuse which I recommend for survivors and clinicians. The experience and knowledge shared in this film can be a lifesaver. In this film, we witness saved lives. This unflinching work counters denial and avoidance by offering hope and healing that comes from brave, honest, open engagement…”
– Steve Cadwell, L.I.C.S.W., Ph.D., Adjunct Faculty at BU Graduate School of Social Work & Harvard Medical School Program for Residents in Psychiatry
“This film is a must see for any victim, family member, or professional working in domestic violence. It avoids being trite, is spot on from a practice and scholarly perspective and has tremendous educational value akin to a three-credit course.”
– Charles A. Granoff, MSW, LICSW, LMFT, Diplomat in Clinical Social Work
As if the documentary wasn’t shocking, brilliant, tragic and triumphant enough, we now have this companion book to take us even deeper into such powerful, heartbreaking stories. We learn, too, about the many artists whose courageous voices emerged as beautiful paintings, jewelry, and photographs. Here you will find regular people, people like you and me, secretly living lives of violence, terror, shame and shock- How did I wind up in an abusive relationship? As these survivors note, it happens gradually… it takes you by surprise… you close your eyes to it, sometimes for years. You Look a Lot Like Me describes in detail personal accounts of horrifying abuse from which there seemed no escape. But there is help out there; people who understand, who don’t say, “Why didn’t you just leave?” People who know what it’s like, because they were there. Jam-packed with resources, this book has everything you need to know if you’re in an abusive relationship. And I would recommend it even if you’re not, in case someday you may meet someone who is. And guess what – you probably will.

“To educators and those who work in this field, the film puts a human face to the 'Power and Control Wheel' and the 'Cycle of Abuse' by submerging the viewer into the world of real people who have bravely chosen to share their stories. Whether a survivor, friend, family member, educator, advocate, or mental health professional, 'You Look a Lot Like Me' has something to teach us all.”
– Pamela Riss, M.S., LMFT
“I know of no other film on the topic that better covers the perspectives of diverse clients or better captures the intimate world of those caught in the cycle. I highly recommend You Look a Lot Like Me to anyone wanting to learn more about the reality of relationship violence.”
– Diane R. Gehart, PH.D., Professor, California State University, Northridge
Talking about domestic violence is not easy for victims because typically we’re ashamed to admit what another human being has done to us. In producing the documentary film You Look a Lot Like Me and its companion book, Director Chloé McFeters has enabled victims of these insidious crimes to come out of hiding and declare for all the world to hear: “I’m a survivor. There is life after partner abuse. He cannot beat, whip, rape, maim or humiliate me again.” Horrendous as their stories are, those in the film and companion book are still the lucky ones, for they escaped and lived to remake their lives. But we have to remember that many don’t escape. Thousands each year, murdered by the one who vowed to love and cherish them, become homicide statistics. Thanks to the work of McFeters and her remarkable crew, and to the brave women, men and children who opened up for the project, domestic violence is coming out of the closet. The revolution is happening. Hopefully this production will be a catalyst for more liberation, since the book contains a rich list of resources for those in need of help— victims, perpetrators and communities.
