Help people spot signs of abuse BEFORE it turns violent.
WHAT’S AT STAKE:
Most people don’t understand the damage caused by the lesser-known forms of abuse, so they often won’t get help until they’re in immense danger.
The first signs of abuse are hard to spot.
That’s why our team came together to create a 40-min sci-fi film about relationship abuse, inspired by the memories of real survivors. The film illustrates the lesser known forms of abuse, like emotional abuse, isolation tactics, digital abuse, and more.
Watch the Teaser Trailer below, with an Intro by the Director and Producer.

HOW IT WORKS
ABOUT THE FILM
A young woman links minds with her boyfriend, using a device that lets couples relive shared memories— but when she spots overlooked signs of abuse, she must escape before he can manipulate her memories in his favor.
Director’s Statement
The Last Drop is a short sci-fi film and international campaign designed to reveal the early signs of relationship abuse by taking viewers on a journey through the memories of real survivors. The story is based on my own personal experiences as a survivor of relationship abuse, as well as dozens of conversations with other survivors and experts.
There are many forms of abuse, and most survivors only learn the warning signs in hindsight. Together, we can change that.
Abuse thrives in silence— let’s talk about it.
