With nowhere else to turn, the ex-wife of an army colonel seeks the aid of the one person who can help get her son back: the service member her ex sexually assaulted.

logline

“The Stronger” seeks to evoke a cathartic emotional response from those affected by sexual assault, as well as individuals who can identify or connect with the shame associated with misogyny. By touching on the experiences of different ages and gender identities, we aim to attract a diverse audience. Our goal with this film is to encourage thoughtful dialogue and to initiate a process of healing.
