They also have Tragic Refuge, a short film about incarcerated survivors of domestic violence. This insightful film was shot in Dayton and produced by by Chinonye Chukwu, who recently made history at Sundance Film Festival as the first black woman to win their top Jury Prize in the Dramatic category for her film, Clemency.
