The Burning Bed starring Farrah Faucet. It is based on a true story, Farrah was absolutely fantastic in her role as the abused wife. It shows the real horror of an abusive husband and the effects it had on his wife and kids. It also shows the breakdown of our system that is suppose to help a women who is in this predicament and is desperately trying to get out. It's such a great movie!
