Behind Closed Doors

10 p.m., Oct. 8, 1986: Sarah Sherman still remembers the exact date and time she met her first husband. The years after, though, involved horrific abuse and tragedy. But from her darkest moments, Sarah has emerged as a survivor, creating change in New Brunswick's health care system. As a note: this documentary contains graphic depictions of intimate partner violence, so listen with care. This story was produced by Robert Gow, with co-production from Robyn Abbott and sound from Chantal Jansen Van Rensberg.
