A Shell of Herself is a short documentary exploring the silent crisis of domestic violence in lesbian relationships, a subject often obscured by societal and community pressures. The film closely follows three women who bravely recount their experiences of abuse, including the complex issue of parental alienation. These personal narratives reveal the unique challenges faced by victims who hesitate to report violence, fearing they might betray their already marginalized community.

Trigger Warning: Discussions of domestic violence and abuse.
