About the Film

A Movement That Started at a Kitchen Table

In 1976, a group of women in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, gathered around a kitchen table with a bold idea: no victim should have to walk alone.

When more than 100 women showed up, the urgency was undeniable. The hotline began to ring, volunteers took action, and a movement was born. What started as a grassroots effort has grown into the Women’s Center of Montgomery County — a lifeline for thousands — with seven offices today and more than 150 dedicated volunteers continuing the work.

“This is a story about the power of people who choose to show up.”
What People Are Saying

Having had a personal experience witnessing the subject matter of domestic violence, I found the work of this foundation to be a very positive message of hope and support for anyone feeling trapped in a very harrowing relationship. This film is inspiring.

— Terry S.

Attending the premiere of Where Fear Ends was incredibly moving. Seeing the 50 year legacy of the Women’s Center brought to life through such powerful, heart wrenching and ultimately hopeful stories is something I won’t soon forget.

— A Heydt

An eye opening documentary that sheds light on the harsh realities of domestic violence. A powerful reminder that abuse isn’t always visible and leaving isn’t always easy. Every survivor deserves to be heard, supported, and believed and that is exactly what the Women’s Center does for victims of domestic violence.

— Rebecca B.

This documentary was a moving reminder that abuse happens in every community and can take many forms. I was amazed by the evolution of the Women’s Center. Sharing this story creates an opportunity to raise awareness, foster connection and offer hope and guidance to communities that may not yet have similar support services.

Just saw a great documentary at the Ambler Theater – Where Fear Ends! Detailed the great work of Montgomery County Women’s Center and local community groups including Lower Moreland Police Department to help women in domestic crisis situations. This film will really raise awareness of the help it offered to many.

— Wanda C

Such a special film! As a Montco woman who has seen firsthand the impact this community has had on women and children for decades, and with an aunt who has long volunteered, this one hits home. Everyone should see it!

— Mary B

The movie was very well done. Although the subject matter is disturbing it brings to light how prominent the issue of physical, verbal and emotional abuse is and the need for all of us to be aware of exactly what that looks like.

— Maureen D

You have created the story, engaging all of the parts of the journey that people experiencing domestic violence must take. The movie is engaging and profound in its message and impact. I hope that it is shown in every county all over the country. It is a story of courage, awareness, and how connecting all the parts of the problem can not only save lives but make our communities so much stronger.

— Dale P

Every resident of Montgomery County should see this film!
