The Burning Bed
“He didn't know how to stop it... she did.”
Michigan, 1977. Francine Hughes (Farrah Fawcett) is raising her children with Mickey Hughes (Paul Le Mat), a husband whose beatings have become part of the household. She goes to the people who might help her, and none of them will do much. Robert Greenwald directs this true story for television, working from Faith McNulty's book and Rose Leiman Goldemberg's script.
