Notes:	In a year dominated by headline stories of domestic violence and the murder of nearly 70 women, award-winning journalist Sarah Ferguson spent six months on the frontline of our national crisis. With unprecedented access to courts and safe rooms, domestic abuse programs in prison, forensic doctors and specialised police units, Sarah also moves into a women's refuge in search of answers. How does domestic violence begin? How does it escalate from control to physical violence and even death? "All year we have been hearing stories of violent attacks on women, alone at home, in front of their children, in cars, in remote locations or in full view in public, but I didn't have a good understanding of what domestic violence actually is," Sarah said. "I wanted to find out how it works, why men – and it is largely men – do it, and why their partners find it so hard to leave. These are gripping, sometimes heartbreaking, stories of women and children caught up in extraordinary situations. Their courage in speaking out took my breath away." "Hitting Home is a program for all of us – men and women, young and old," says Director of Television Richard Finlayson. "The Prime Minister rightly labels this crisis a national disgrace. I hope Sarah's unprecedented access to victims and their stories will not only enlighten viewers but reveal areas of hope for the future."
