Nobody told me what “emotional abuse” was until after I had already experienced it for four years straight. My girlfriend at the time was a very loving person, but she also manipulated me, locked me out of the house, and pressured me into ending every female friendship that I had. Hollywood movies teach us that abuse only “counts” if you see blood or bruises— but the first act of abuse is rarely violent. More than 1 in 3 women and 1 in 3 men have experienced some of emotional abuse in their lifetime, but many survivors only recognize the early signs in hindsight. While we can’t change the past, we can do so much more to support survivors and prepare the next generation of young men and women entering their first relationships right now. The Last Drop is a short sci-fi film and national engagement campaign designed to reveal the early signs of relationship abuse by taking viewers on a journey through the memories of real survivors. The Last Drop aims to show young people what abuse looks like before it turns violent and kickstart a national conversation about relationship safety.
