A documentary detailing the domestic violence that led to the death of a Pennsylvania woman will be shown Thursday night on campus.
The film, “Telling Amy’s Story,” starts with the November 2001 death of Amy McGee and examines events in reverse to see what could have been done to prevent it.
The documentary is called a fatality review, Verizon Wireless spokeswoman Elyse Richardson said. Fatality reviews are used as training tools to identify signs a person is a victim of domestic violence.
The film is being shown around the state as part of domestic violence awareness month — which is October — and is sponsored by Verizon Wireless’ Hopeline campaign, Richardson said.
Thursday’s documentary will be preceded by a speech from Carol Stoops, OU football coach Bob Stoops’ wife. The event will begin at 7 p.m. in the Molly Shi Boren Ballroom.
The event is free and open to the public.
