Double bill of true stories...
Shattered Trust (1993)Melissa Gilbert plays Shari Karney, a promising young attorney with a bright career ahead. But, one day in court, while questioning a man accused of child abuse, she loses all control and attacks him. This frightening act nearly jeopardises her career and puts her sanity in question. Ordered by Judge Norton to seek professional help, Shari approaches therapist Dr. Joan Delvecchio (Ellen Burstyn), who begins to carve away at Shari's façade of happiness. Working together, they begin to illuminate the secret that Shari has long held suppressed: that, as a child, she was sexually abused by her father. Despite the terrible repercussions of making this accusation public, Shari teams up with fellow lawyer Stephanie Chadford (Kate Nelligan) to force through a change in the law for the benefit of others who have uncovered memories of long-suppressed abuse and wish to seek justice against their attackers.
The Other Side of Love (1991)
Single mother Annie (Cheryl Ladd) is a woman with a double-headed struggle on her hands: for her own freedom - and for a mother's right to love her children. Living in poverty, she wants to make a good life for herself and her family. Then a drug deal goes badly wrong for her boyfriend - and he sets up Annie to take the fall for his crime. Naively refusing to plea-bargain, Annie is found guilty and sentenced to 15 years. Conditions in prison are brutal and humiliating, but Annie finds a common ground with many other inmates: they, too, have kids on the 'outside'. Discovering hidden reserves of strength, Annie begins to fight, not only for justice for herself, but for all those who are struggling to keep love alive on both sides of the steel bars.- Actors:
