Tiny Movements is a short documentary about Jen Green, a professional modern dancer, mother of two who discovered video recordings of her husband raping her after drugging her with high doses of Ambien. The video's time stamps reflect that the abuse had been going on for over four years. She and her children escaped and filed an order of protection.
Once in a safe space, she danced in her kitchen, filmed it and posted it to Social Media. She would write comments about how her body felt, fears, favorite outfits, shattered memories, any thoughts that came to mind. It became her daily meditation, a reflection and her own self-created way to heal from abuse. The project on Social Media was called “Tiny Kitchen Dances” and she danced, filmed and posted every day for three years, little by little healing and breaking isolation. This documentary is the telling of the story of her creation of the Tiny Kitchen Dances project, her healing and ongoing legal battle to protect herself and her children, the journey to put her abuser in jail all while moving forward to rebuild and thrive in her life.
