Why do some men beat—and even kill—the women they profess to love? In this program, women battered by husbands or boyfriends speak out about their experiences. Their stories create a mosaic of pain and fear, courage and determination, while answering the question: “Why did you stay with him?” The case of Lisa Bianco, who relied on the due process of law for protection and was murdered by her ex-husband, is included. Crusading photographer Donna Ferrato and committed bodyguard Greg Kottke are also profiled. Produced by CBS NEWS. (45 minutes)
