With member organizations providing direct service to survivors all across Illinois, the ICADV’s policy work and training leads the way towards ending abuse in our state. Learn more at ilcadv.org.
Why Now?
This year, thousands of abuse-prevention organizations nationwide just had their budgets devastated by a 40% cut in funding to the Victims Of Crime Act. That is why, in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we are fighting for this cause by hosting an online Film Night Fundraiser with a screening & discussion of the award winning abuse-prevention film, The Last Drop.
Raffle Prizes!
During the event, we will have raffle tickets for exciting prizes, including free video editing services from the Impact-Driven Filmmaking company, Aggressively Compassionate, gift cards, and more! (limits & exclusions may apply)
About the Film:
The Last Drop is a 40-minute sci-fi film about relationship abuse inspired by the memories of real survivors. The story follows a young woman who links minds with her boyfriend using a fictional device that lets couples relive shared memories— but when she spots overlooked signs of abuse, she must escape before he can manipulate her memories in his favor.
Campaign:
Filmmaker / Survivor, Adam Joel, is using this film as an education tool to transform the way we learn about the lesser known forms of abuse— so far he’s reached over 100,000 people through screening & speaking engagements hosted by schools, judges, nonprofits, police officers, community groups, and more!
