This couple's 'routine' is difficult to watch

From the UK: 'Break the routine' uses dance to point out that domestic abuse often goes on for far too long.

If a stylized interpretation of domestic violence is this painful to watch, imagine being a real-world victim. Now imagine it continuing not for three minutes but for two years.

As this film points out, that's the average length of time high-risk victims live with abuse before getting specialist help. 

J. Walter Thompson London, with LA’s Biscuit Filmworks, made the film for the UK's National Centre for Domestic Violence and independent charity Victim Support. A live performance of the dance took place last week in London, with victim-support trainees.  

The video features exclusive music by Ellie Goulding.
