It’s our final week of filming for my documentary about stalking, and honestly it’s been one of the most eye opening, emotional films I’ve ever made. I’ve learnt so much about the strength of victims / survivors through this process... some of these women are the strongest I’ve ever met. Stalking is one of the most isolating crimes out there. The pure determination of the women I’ve spoken to, to continually put one foot in front of the other every single day, is nothing short of inspirational. I’ve been spending time with the police too, to get a greater understanding of how they deal with this crime; a crime that can be difficult to convict. I spoke with an incredible woman today, and I felt her happiness when I told her about the documentary we are making. This woman had been going through stalking after a decade of an abusive relationship, and she never fully understood the impact of stalking before it happened to her. To hear the determination in her voice to share her story hit me deeply. Talking and sharing can be vindicating and freeing. I am so grateful to do the job that I do; to be able to hopefully make a difference in this world and make some positive change alongside the incredible people I am working with. Thank you from the bottom of my heart❤️ this documentary series has been 18 months in the making, from development to where we are now. It’s been a long process of finding a careful balance because of the sensitivity of this programme, but I hope it opens up conversations at home, in schools and in society. ❤️
