British actress Keira Knightley, 24, has filmed a chilling 2-minute advertisement for the nonprofit Women's Aid to bring attention to the domestic abuse suffered by women of all backgrounds.

In the ad, Keira plays an actress whose boyfriend seems convinced that she's in love with a co-star. He verbally attacks her, at which point Knightley appears to "break the fourth wall" and says to the camera, "I didn't agree to this," before she is savagely attacked.

The clip was directed by Joe Wright, who also directed Keira in Atonement. It's cutting, terrifying, and so very effective. Be warned that it contains some fairly realistic violence.

Keira Knightley stars in this shocking new short film, directed by Joe Wright and brought to you by Women’s Aid - the UK’s domestic abuse charity. I wanted to take part in this advert for Women’s Aid because while domestic violence exists in every section of society, we rarely hear about it. We may not think we know someone who has experienced domestic violence, but this does not mean that it is not happening. Domestic violence affects one in four women at some point in their lifetime and kills two women every week. Without the services provided by Women’s Aid, many more women could ... Read Full Story
