Donna Ferrato is an internationally acclaimed photojournalist known for her groundbreaking documentation of the hidden world of domestic violence. Her seminal book Living With the Enemy  published by Aperture in 1991 went into four printings and sparked a national discussion on sexual violence. In 2014, Ferrato launched the I Am Unbeatable campaign to expose, document, and prevent domestic violence against women and children through real stories of real people. The W. Eugene Smith Fund is celebrating the 45th anniversary of the grant they made to Donna Ferrato so she could travel the US to complete that body of work for the book. Donna continues to shed light on the horrors of domestic violence and the shortcomings of the legal system to keep women and children safe, and we are thrilled to have her here with us today to talk about that body of work and how she sustains working on such a difficult topic. Her work has been published in Time Magazine, The New York Times, Mother Jones, Vanity Fair Italy and many more.
