"CN: References to domestic abuse situations and violence
A love letter to two survivors of intimate partner violence as they navigate and confront their trauma, ‘dear friend” is a film that draws from the contemplative patience of letter writing to share the story of many women, rarely told. The letter greets the viewer with an abrupt and fierce jerk into the memories of the two survivors of intimate partner violence. It is a glimpse into the survivor’s journey of denial, acknowledgement, and determination to leave. Through their voices, we can hear and imagine women we might know. The film urges us to see past the darkness and the shadowed veil of silence shrouding this issue. It casts light and commands: even if you choose not to see, you will hear these stories." - Toronto Queer Film Fest
