'A 3-part documentary series that explores one of the most complex and urgent issues of our time - domestic abuse. Presented by investigative journalist Jess Hill, this series examines the fine lines between love, abuse and power.' (Production summary)
'This documentary is hard to watch. While I was expecting the content, there was real power in the relentless accumulation of disrespect and abuse uttered in gendered, often violent and sexualised terms against Labor politician Julia Gillard. When she first became leader of the ALP and Australia’s 27th prime minister, Gillard acknowledged the milestone but wanted to downplay her status as the first woman in the role. Others, however, did not. Strong Female Lead explores how Gillard’s political legitimacy and integrity as a national leader were increasingly challenged in overtly gendered terms.'(Introduction)
'Jess Hill’s documentary See What You Made Me Do, based on her best-selling book, is a tough but illuminating look at a scourge of Australian society. By Celeste Liddle.'
'Hosted by journalist Jess Hill, the SBS documentary is a challenging watch – but if victims have the courage to speak, we owe them the courage to listen.'
