The documentary follows Wood coming forward with allegations of abuse by Warner, and her involvement in the Phoenix Act to change laws about domestic violence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately, my story is not unique,\u201d Wood said at a virtual Q&amp;A following the screening of Part 1 of Phoenix Rising. \u201c[The purpose is to] not just expose this person but to explain domestic violence and how it works.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>Wood, 34, met Warner when she was 18 and they dated from 2006 to 2011. Wood testified before the California Senate on behalf of the Domestic Violence Bill of Rights in 2019, but did not name the abuser she described.<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p>In an Instagram post Feb. 1, 2020, Wood said Warner abused her. Because the three year statute of limitations had passed, Wood and Ilma Gore formed the Phoenix Act to advocate for laws to extend the statute of limitations.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI was not only pursuing my own kind of justice, but I was paired up with some of the most incredible people that I\u2019ve ever met,\u201d Wood said. \u201cIt ignited a desire and need in me to continue the conversation and do everything I could to raise awareness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of the advocates with whom Wood works is Shay Franco-Clausen, who attended the screening and Q&amp;A of Phoenix Rising. Franco-Clausen said Wood is raising the profile of domestic violence issues for women who are often overlooked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of people don\u2019t look at DV or human trafficking when it comes to Black women,\u201d Franco-Clausen said. \u201cInside jails, most women are survivors of domestic violence, which is a gateway from human trafficking or into human trafficking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another advocate involved in the Phoenix Act is Ashley Walters, who also testified as a former employee of Warner\u2019s. Walters said she experienced a catharsis similar to Wood\u2019s simply by being able to name Warner.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNothing prepares you for what happens within when you actually say your abuser\u2019s name and tell the world what happened,\u201d Walters said.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<div id=\"attachment_19606546\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/GettyImages-76734200-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19606546\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/GettyImages-76734200-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1637\" height=\"3000\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Actress Evan Rachel Wood and musician Marilyn Manson arrive for the after party for a special screening of \u201cAcross The Universe\u201d at Bette on September 13, 2007 in New York City. (Scott Wintrow\/Getty Images)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Wood was friends with documentary filmmaker Amy Berg prior to Phoenix Rising. Wood asked Berg if she\u2019d make a film about the Phoenix Act.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Phoenix Rising is a two part series that will air on HBO. Berg said Wood\u2019s tenacity in the face of the statute of limitations inspired her to make the series.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen she was told that the statute of limitations had expired, that didn\u2019t stop her,\u201d Berg said. \u201cShe went on to change the laws in California. As a storyteller, everything is there to tell a really important and interesting story.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Berg said that the first part of Phoenix Rising is simply the backstory for the second half. Berg said the second part will also feature more stories from other survivors of domestic violence.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B4\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI hope their stories will elevate courage in people who are living in domestic violence relationships in silence and looking for resources,\u201d Berg said. \u201cOverall, this was always about identifying patterns and trying to educate people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the film, Wood describes techniques like grooming and love bombing, which are common among abusers, and Wood alleges Warner practiced them on her. Wood said the media also bears responsibility for shielding Warner for years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe way the press handled the story for many, many years is shameful,\u201d Wood said. \u201cIt\u2019s time we finally tell the whole story and for the narrative to change and for the survivors to take back ownership of their stories.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Berg said she still experienced industry figures protecting Warner. Phoenix Rising includes Manson\u2019s music and videos, particularly one for \u201cHeart-Shaped Glasses,\u201d which Wood alleges captured her sexual abuse on camera. Berg said the film faced resistance when clearing Manson songs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople are still protecting Brian Warner and they don\u2019t want to participate in anything that might upset him,\u201d Berg said. \u201cAs an industry we need to take account at this point, not just for Brian Warner, for all the people who are being abusive towards women and men and children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>HBO has not announced the premiere date for Phoenix Rising yet. As the first audience viewed Part 1, Wood reminded them that this is not a celebration of victory. It is a cry for more help and support for the Phoenix Act and other protections for survivors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not a ticker tape parade,\u201d Wood said. \u201cIt\u2019s an SOS.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Phoenix Rising filmmakers state at the end of Part 1 that they reached out to Warner and his legal representatives. They did not elect to comment on the specific allegations made against Warner in the film, but reissued a previous statement denying sexual assault or abuse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LOS ANGELES, Jan. 24 (UPI) \u2014 Evan Rachel Wood said the documentary Phoenix Rising, which premiered virtually at the Sundance Film Festival Sunday, is bigger than her experiences with Brian &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1236370","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1236370","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1236370"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1236370\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1236370"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1236370"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1236370"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
