This program tells the story of a woman who has helped to turn the story of her abusive marriage into a play to help other women. Five years ago, Francine Nicholas was almost shot to death by her husband while her six children watched. Today, the story of Nicholas' abusive 11-year marriage is the basis of a multi-media play. "I WILL NOT FALL" is an uplifting documentary about an abused woman who ultimately stood her ground against violence. It also explores the work of the Friendly Spike Theatre Band, a community-based troupe that opens its doors to professional and non-professional actors, adults, children, and even survivors of abusive relationships. The process of creating a work of art based on a real life horror story compels all of the players to examine their perceptions about abuse and why it is a part of our culture. <30mn>
