Dare to Survive - The Story of Tracy McCarter

Mar 23, 2023
Summary
Tracy McCarter is every woman who finds herself in mortal combat with a man she loved. Society must align itself with the process of healing and helping survivors of violence, instead of punishing them for reacting to fear. Bearing witness to the courage of Tracy’s trial was an honor, her moral fortitude is an exemplary paradigm of survival of the fittest.

I came to document Tracy McCarter’s experiences in court because I wanted to see how the criminal justice system works.
