Plot Synopsis

In 1993 Lorena Bobbitt became a household name and made tabloid headlines when after years of abuse by her husband John, she cut off his penis with a knife while he was asleep in bed. Now nearly 30 years later, Lorena tells her story, and hers alone. This film follows her journey from a widd-eyed, immigrant bride to a battered wife into an unlikely media sensation. It also documents her ultimately emerging as a strong, thoughtful woman who has devoted her life to advocating for other abused women. Lifetime will run a PSA for the National Domestic Violence Hotline and the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence featuring the actors and Lorena Bobbitt, as part of Lifetime's public affairs campaign, Stop Violence Against Women.
