This powerful video (and companion report) uncovers the dynamics of intimate relationships that turn violent within the urban youth sub-culture. The video is the perfect companion to the study that focuses on the early dating stages of male/female interaction -- the teen and young adult years.

Captured on video are the compelling stories and accounts described by youth during a six-month video-documented study of dating violence among Black urban teens in five urban areas: Gary, Indiana; Baltimore, Maryland; Atlanta, Georgia; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and Los Angeles, California. The objective of this study was to understand the dynamics of urban youth culture, which allow, support, and even encourage violence in male/female relationships.

The video documentary is a companion to the report and provides a first-hand account of how young urban males and females see each other and define their relationship. The study addresses a number of underlying factors, which contribute to dating violence, including identifying the provocative acts that may lead to violent and aggressive behavior.
