'The strangest things become normal when you know Aaron Swan.' This feature-length documentary features upsetting accounts of abuse, manipulation and rape from three women who were in long-term relationships with the same man. It also achieves a rare thing by making the story about the women, not the abuser. They are victims of Aaron Swan, but they come across as so much more than that.
Natalie, Jenni and Robyn, who all had children with Swan (and a fourth, Shannon, a friend of Jenni's whom Swan also raped) all come across as vibrant, intelligent and happy as they describe their early encounters with Swan, as indeed they were before he sunk his claws into them.
As their stories progress, told with detailed timelines that cover almost two decades, their distress and urge to fight back the tears become more and more evident. That makes the film an increasingly difficult watch but stay with it. This is one domestic abuse story that ends as positively as it can. Jenni, Robyn and Shannon, united with Swan's first wife Natalie (who founded a domestic abuse charity), have their day in court. (85 minutes)
