Join filmmaker Jaret Martino and members of the cast for a screening of “Donna, Stronger Than Pretty,” months prior to its national release. In the film, a young mother’s “American Dream” turns into a living nightmare, until she finds the inner strength to listen to a voice she hadn’t heard before: her own.

Prior to the film and panel discussion, a cocktail reception with the filmmaker, cast and crew, along with survivors will take place in the Guild Hall Garden.

Following the screening, a panel of survivors will answer questions and tell their personal stories.

5 pm VIP reception (Tickets $250 and up), 6:30 pm Red Carpet.

7 pm film followed by a panel discussion (Tickets $60)

All proceeds benefit The Retreat’s domestic violence services on the East End, which are provided at no charge. The Retreat’s 24-hour hotline is 631-329-2200.
