V-Day Founder/Artistic Director and Playwright “The Vagina Monologues” Eve Ensler and Childs met in early 2003 at V-Day Kauai. Ensler was already a big fan of Toni’s - the impact of Childs’ music on her life has been profound and a lifeline. By night’s end, Ensler found herself asking Toni to write an anthem for Until The Violence Stops. “Because You’re Beautiful” is the result and received the 2004 Emmy award for “Outstanding Music & Lyrics.”

About “Until The Violence Stops”:
In 2002, eight hundred cities participated in a movement to end violence against women and girls called V-Day, which grew out of Eve Ensler's play, "The Vagina Monologues." "Until the Violence Stops" is a documentary that follows the extraordinary grassroots impact of V-Day in five international communities while exposing the pervasive and cultural forms of violence that women experience all over the world.

Directed by first-time Director/Producer Abby Epstein, the story begins at a star-studded V-Day performance at Harlem's Apollo Theater and travels to regional events in Ukiah (California), the Philippines and Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, culminating in the opening of the first V-Day Safe House for girls in Kenya. What emerges is an alternately devastating and hopeful look at the global and grassroots efforts in motion to stop violence against women and girls.
Featuring appearances by Eve Ensler, Salma Hayek, Rosario Dawson, Jane Fonda, Tantoo Cardinal, LisaGay Hamilton, Rosie Perez, and Isabella Rossellini.

The documentary world premiered at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival and broadcast premiered on Lifetime Television in February. It has been screened at the Amnesty International Film Festivals in Amsterdam and Vancouver, as well as at the Miami and Maui Film festivals. In November, the film won top honor ­ the Gold Audience Award - at the Amnesty International Film Festival in Vancouver.

Netflix will release the DVD for exclusive rental and purchase beginning January 11, 2004, via www.netflix.com. The DVD will be available for purchase beginning February 8th from Docurama.com, or wherever fine DVDs are sold ($26.95).
