This Hits Home

A powerful new documentary, This Hits Home, tells the story of Dr. Garay-Serratos’ domestic violence healing journey in the wake of learning that her mother’s repeated blows to the head from Maria’s father caused chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and early-onset Alzeimer’s disease (AD). These neurodegenerative disorders led to her mother’s premature death.

This Hits Home reveals the shocking relationship that lies at the intersection of traumatic brain injury and domestic violence. The groundbreaking documentary by Scotia Entertainment brings together fearless survivors, grassroots workers acting to end domestic violence and leading neurologists to give a voice to an epidemic that has been largely silent.

Dr. Garay-Serratos served as Protagonist, Associate Producer, and the Domestic Violence Expert Consultant for Scotia Entertainment on this documentary.
