We’re incredibly excited (and a bit terrified) to share that our story is being featured in the Red Flag documentary series, produced by First Look TV and airing on the W channel.
Our episode airs on 1st May 2024, but if you’re the binge-watching type, you’re in luck all episodes will be available to stream from 17th April. It’s a gripping, eye-opening series that dives deep into the warning signs of romance fraud and emotional abuse… and yes, our story is right there in the middle of it.
Now, is it compelling viewing? Absolutely. Will I personally be watching? Absolutely not — mainly because I’ve no desire to see my double chins in glorious widescreen HD. (Some things are better left unseen.)
But seriously, this documentary has the potential to raise much-needed awareness around emotional manipulation and coercive control — the very themes at the heart of our books Playing with Fire and Healing from the Burns. With any luck, it’ll also help get these stories into more readers' hands, which means more support for Women’s Aid, as a portion of all book sales goes directly to them.
So please do give it a watch (preferably from a flattering angle on my behalf), share it with others and help spread the word. The more people who see the red flags, the more lives can be changed or even saved.
