Film Screening & Community Conversation: Tipping Point
2025-04-30 18:00 - 19:30 | Potter League for Animals, 87 Oliphant Lane, Middletown, RI, 02842, United States
Join us on Wednesday, April 30 at 6:00 PM at the Potter League for Animals for an evening of reflection, learning, and community conversation in partnership with the Women’s Resource Center (WRC).
The evening will begin with opening remarks and a conversation led by Potter League CEO Brad Shear, exploring the often-overlooked connection between domestic violence and animal abuse—and how programs like the Potter League’s Pet Safe provide critical support for survivors and their pets.
We’ll then screen Tipping Point, a 20-minute documentary produced and directed by award-winning filmmaker Susan M. Sipprelle. This intimate and powerful film features eight survivors of domestic violence as they share the barriers they faced in leaving abusive situations—and reflects the critical role organizations like WRC play in helping individuals rebuild their lives in safety and peace.
The title, Tipping Point, speaks to both the strength and courage of survivors and the urgent challenges faced by organizations like WRC amid continued underinvestment in life-saving services.
A Q&A and open community discussion will follow the film.
This is a free, educational event open to all, but space is limited.Please RSVP below to let us know you’re coming.
