A suburban family’s world is irrevocably changed following the news of a violent crime.
A perpetrator’s mother tries to keep her life and family together after her only son is convicted of a violent sexual assault. Blood In The Water follows a mother, sister, aunt, and stepfather as they navigate the aftermath of the horrific crime. A hard-hitting political and personal piece, this story explores the consequences for the family of a perpetrator. How do we move forward? How do we and should we forgive? Is it even possible to make sure it never happens again?
