As part of its On Screen/In Person series, the Arts at Millersville University will present a showing of the documentary "And So I Stayed" on Tuesday, Feb. 25, at 6:15 p.m. at the Ware Center, 42 N. Prince St., Lancaster.

"And So I Stayed" is an award-winning documentary about survivors of domestic violence who are incarcerated for killing their abusers in self-defense. The film's subjects include formerly incarcerated survivor-advocate Kim Dadou Brown, a driving force in the passage of New York's Domestic Violence Survivors Justice Act (DVSJA). Also featured are Nikki Addimando and Tanisha Davis.

At 6:15 p.m., there will be a pre-show community panel with Whitney Barbusca, a social worker with Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health; Mandy Billman, director of the Sexual Assault Prevention and Counseling Center at the YWCA; Fai Hammond, outreach coordinator with Domestic Violence Services; and Heather Girvin, associate professor in the School of Social Work at Millersville University.

After the film showing, there will be a question-and-answer session with survivor-advocate Brown.

This On Screen/In Person event is presented in partnership with the Millersville University School of Social Work.
