HBO’s Phoenix Rising is a two-part documentary directed by Amy Berg (HBO’s The Case against Adnan Syed), following actress and activist Evan Rachel Wood as she takes her experience of surviving domestic violence to pursue justice, heal generational wounds, and reclaim her story.

Almost a decade after escaping an abusive relationship with Brian Warner, aka Marilyn Manson, Wood co-authors and successfully lobbies for passage of The Phoenix Act, legislation that extends the statute of limitations for domestic violence cases in California. Wood brings visibility to the issue in solidarity with fellow survivors, and ultimately decides to name Warner publicly.
