Herself (2020)

Sandra has been thinking about leaving her abusive husband for a while. After a particularly brutal attack, she can no longer wait. Along with her daughters, she enters into temporary accommodations that both demoralize her and put an undue burden on her travel times to her two jobs. When she sees plans to build her own house online, she does her research and gets to work.

The story is both infuriating and full of hope. I loved that Sandra is no superhero -- she's just a mom who must do everything she can to keep her girls safe and happy.
