Documentaries
Documentaries on narcissistic abuse, coercive control, femicide, and gender-based violence — reviewed and analyzed by Manya Wakefield. Documentary coverage of these topics varies widely in quality, accuracy, and sensitivity to survivors. Reviews here evaluate each film on its factual grounding, its handling of survivor testimony, and its value as an educational resource for survivors, families, clinicians, and advocates seeking to understand these dynamics through the lens of lived experience and specialist knowledge.
