No Way Out But One documentary - woman accused of kidnapping her own children

[ritualab...@aol.com]

No Way Out But One is a feature length documentary currently in post-
production. It tells the story of an American woman accused of
kidnapping her own children, a woman who fled the country and became
the first American to be granted asylum by the government of the
Netherlands on grounds of domestic violence. The 13-minute version
presented here serves as a trailer for the feature and a documentary
short.

In 1994 Holly Collins became an international fugitive when she took
her three children and fled the United States to protect them from
abuse. The family courts had ignored medical evidence of domestic
violence and gave full custody of Holly's children to the man they
named as their abuser – her ex-husband and the children's father.
Wanted by the FBI, Holly became the first U.S. Citizen to receive
asylum from the Netherlands.

In No Way Out But One, Holly Collins shares a story that in many
respects is like thousands of others. It is estimated that 58,000
children a year are ordered into unsupervised contact with physically
or sexually abusive parents following divorce in the United States.

Unlike so many of the other tragic stories happening around the
country, Holly was able to protect her children and keep them safe.
Despite all the harrowing trials, her story ultimately has a happy
ending. Even though she and the kids had No Way Out But One.
