Summary

"Actress Evan Rachel Wood takes her experience as a survivor of domestic violence to pursue justice, heal generational wounds, and reclaim her story in this searing documentary. Directed by Amy Berg, this two-part film chronicles Wood's volatile relationship with Brian Warner – better known as rock icon Marilyn Manson – and her journey to becoming a domestic violence advocate." - HBO

Here it is... the episode that took BORBs off of the roster for a couple months. Major trigger warnings for anyone who has experienced SA or DV first or secondhand, this one is real heavy.

We allude to a follow up episode on Brian Warner himself, but due to the state of where the case is currently in the legal system, we're going to wait a bit.
