About the Movie
(Updated.) It’s been 26 years, but everyone still knows the notorious case of Lorena Bobbitt. But what’s gotten lost in the countless tabloid headlines and tasteless jokes that followed was the story of a severely abused young woman whose torment–both physical and mental–at the hands of her husband pushed her over the edge. In this Lifetime Original movie, Lorena tells her story, and we follow her journey from a wide-eyed, immigrant bride to a battered wife, and an unlikely media sensation, with her ultimately emerging as a strong, thoughtful woman who has devoted her life to advocating for other abused women. Dani Montalvo and Luke Humphrey star. (2020)
