Michael Cogdill here...Chronicle, Living in Fear takes the Emmy tonight in Atlanta. Its a rare and sparkling trophy, that girl. But the true reward is measured in living girls, and boys -- the real-life escapees of domestic violence, who ran for their lives. Who saw that piece of television and took away the inspiration to get out and NEVER go back. To LIVE in liberty rather than die in threats and wounding. To tolerate NO relationship that hurts. And to Sabrina and Deandre Hopkins, whose extraordinary story of survival John Hendon and I got to tell in that Chronicle, THANK YOU!! Thank God for your courage, your will to LIVE and use your pain to safeguard another from pain. Serving as you do is healing. You both embody this truth. I am in awe of you. To EVERYONE suffering abuse of ANY stripe -- dont wear the stripes, inner or outer. Wear your running shoes. Go. Go and take your children, your future. Flee to the happiness you deserve, not the living death of dread. You will never fix the abuser. Yours, instead, is a high calling NOT to enable him/her by staying near. Get to the solace of a shelter. Get to the solace of your best life. Congratulations to EVERYONE who worked on Chronicle, Living in Fear. You all rock. Youre all lifesavers!
