Hold Me Down (full film)
Based on true events, Hold Me Down is a narrative drama short film about a 19-year-old single mother and sex worker in the Bronx.
All the parts are played by real women survivors of sexual exploitation and domestic abuse. Thanks to our partnership with the NGO Project Rousseau, the women involved have been able to escape the clutches of prostitution, get access to safe housing and higher education.
Produced by The Collectif, More Media and Bob Film Sweden with support from IFP, the Swedish Film Institute and Sveriges Television.
