“Chris Brown’s an amazing and talented musician, but let’s call a thing a thing. He’s an abuser of women. Consistently, unapologetically,” one woman can be heard saying in the Ample Entertainment-produced doc’s chilling trailer.

Shortly after the premiere airs, The View‘s Sunny Hostin is reportedly slated to host a discussion alongside domestic violence experts and survivor advocates.

The more we know, the better we can help advocate for change as a society.”
