Un homme meilleur

Details

Un homme meilleur ouvre une perspective novatrice en matière de prévention de la violence familiale. Il nous présente une vision inédite et nuancée non seulement du processus de guérison, mais aussi de la révélation que peut provoquer chez tous les intervenants la responsabilisation des hommes à l’égard de leur comportement violent.

Despite the awareness about the abuse in Attiya’s and Steve’s relationship, why did nobody intervene? Comment on why their individual history is never fully disclosed in the film.  Identify the signs that showed that Attiya’s and Steve’s relationship was an unhealthy one. How does Steve’s participation in Attiya’s healing atone for his past and pave the way for him to become “a better man”? Discuss whether contemporary attitudes about relationship violence have given individuals greater power in interrupting this pattern. Explain.
