UNFILTERED – A TESTIMONY ON ABUSE & ITS CONSEQUENCES
DAVID, 48 (pseudonym)
David suffered abuse between the ages of 7 and 12. Today, he chooses to speak out.
We have chosen not to show his face. You will only see his hands and hear his voice.
We also made another choice: not to condense 47 minutes of testimony into a few seconds just to fit the conventions of social media.
No sensationalism.
No shortcuts.
47 minutes to listen.
David shares his story with Art & Resilience, hoping it might help someone—perhaps someone who sees themselves in his words, someone who has never been able to speak out, or a loved one trying to understand.
Speaking out does not erase what happened.
But a voice that is heard can sometimes mark the beginning of something new.
Thank you to David for his trust.
