Domestic abuse is a national emergency: one in four Australian women has experienced violence from a man she was intimate with.

See What You Made Me Do is Jess Hill’s searing investigation that challenges everything you thought you knew about domestic abuse. The bestselling book was awarded the 2020 Stella Prize and the 2020 ABA Booksellers’ Choice Adult Non-Fiction Book of the Year.

Now, a documentary series hosted by Hill and inspired by the book will premiere on Wednesday 5 May on SBS and SBS On Demand.

Hill meets survivors who describe the shape-shifting of abusive behaviours, with violence one element among many, and talks to perpetrators and people working with them to curb their behaviours. Travelling across and outside Australia, she explores radical innovations which could make a seismic difference to curbing this crisis in our homes.
