Fight dating violence with "Reviving Ophelia"
The drama centers around two cousins, Elizabeth (Rebecca Williams) and Kelli
(Carleigh Beverly). Elizabeth has a seemingly perfect life, with the seemingly
perfect boyfriend to match. But all is not as it seems as Kelli, who couldn't
be more opposite from her cousin, finds out that the mysterious injuries Lizzy
has been explaining as accidents are actually coming from her BF Mark.
Elizabeth is in an abusive relationship. Mark is exhibiting all the common
signs of an abuser: He constantly calls and texts, gets upset when she doesn't
answer right away, follows her when she is with her friends and he physically
assaults her. But Mark always apologizes, saying he can change. Even the
audience almost believes it—until he continues with, "But maybe if you
didn't get me so upset, I wouldn't hurt you."
Elizabeth is blinded by love and Kelli is the only one who knows. Kelli’s faced
with the tough decision of keeping her cousin's secret, or telling her aunt so
Elizabeth can get help.
