  This DVD is part of the "Maple Ave Series" as seen on PBS. Ashley resorts to "cutting" to cope with an abusive father, who's regularly victimized her family. Like a growing number of teens nationwide, Ashley regularly cuts her arms and legs, substituting her overwhelming inner pain and rage with an external pain that she is seemingly better able to manage. This last illusion is finally dispelled in a heart-wrenching ending that finds a desperate Ashley reaching out to a sympathetic teacher for help. DVD & leader's guide. 21 minutes, 2006. Also available in a 7-Part Series at a discounted price. Please call 800-431-1242 for details. |
