The two-minute clip, which will start airing April 6, depicts Knightley being violently kicked and beaten by a man. "While domestic violence exists in every section of society we rarely hear about it," says the actress, who volunteered to act in the clip for the charity Women's Aid. "Domestic violence affects one in four women at some point in their lifetime and kills two women every week." It's about time that stars and legislature stand up and realize the enormity of the issue at hand.
