520 An award-winning filmmaker recounts the intimate abuse she
suffered from former New York State Attorney General Eric
Schneiderman, using her story as a prism to examine the
domestic violence crisis plaguing America.
520 When Tanya Selvaratnam met then New York State Attorney
General Eric Schneiderman at the Democratic National
Convention in July 2016, they seemed like the perfect
match. Behind closed doors, however, Schneiderman became
controlling, mean, and manipulative. He drank heavily and
used sedatives. Sex turned violent, and he called Tanya--
who was born in Sri Lanka and grew up in Southern
California-- his 'brown slave.' Tanya knew the signs of
domestic violence, and had not seen herself as vulnerable,
but became trapped in a violent relationship with one of
the most powerful men in New York. Here she describes how
she found the strength to leave-- and how she reclaimed
her freedom and her voice. -- adapted from jacket
