Taking Back Control

Taking Back Control tells the story of the unspeakably violent and torturous abuse and coercive control suffered by Nicola Hanney at the hands of her former partner who was a serving Garda- Paul Moody - while she was battling a terminal cancer diagnosis and pregnant with their child. Through Nicola's testimony and that of a tight-knit group of friends and family, the audience is taken through her harrowing ordeal with Paul Moody and her cancer diagnoses up to the moment her voice is heard and her abuser is sentenced to prison under Ireland's new coercive control laws.
