AND SO I STAYED is an award-winning documentary about survivors of abuse fighting for their lives and spending years behind bars. These women paid a steep price with long prison sentences, lost time with loved ones, and painful memories.

Nikki Addimando, a mother of two young children, suffered the consequences when a judge didn’t follow the law’s guidelines.
