Dialogue: 0,0:00:00.20,0:00:04.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,All right, we've got a question right here in the middle for Patrick Stewart. What is your name?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:04.00,0:00:05.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,My name is Heather.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:05.02,0:00:06.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hello, Heather. You OK?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:06.35,0:00:07.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yeah.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:07.01,0:00:08.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,OK, what's your question?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:08.18,0:00:16.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,All right, this is more of a somber question. I recently saw on YouTube how you talked
Dialogue: 0,0:00:16.69,0:00:23.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to Amnesty Now, I think it was, um, about your view against violence against women,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:23.09,0:00:30.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that speech was really moving to me, and it helped me through my own turmoils a little bit.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:30.44,0:00:34.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I wanted to thank you personally for that. And then my question, segueing into that:
Dialogue: 0,0:00:34.77,0:00:39.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Besides acting, what are you most proud of that you've done in your life
Dialogue: 0,0:00:39.100,0:00:42.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that you're willing to share with us that isn't really into acting?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:42.96,0:00:45.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Great question.\NThank you.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:52.24,0:00:59.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think you have very beautifully linked the important things together.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:03.54,0:01:12.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The work that I do in campaigns about violence towards women, particularly domestic violence,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:12.08,0:01:19.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is something that grew out of my own childhood experience, and I am associated
Dialogue: 0,0:01:19.16,0:01:26.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,particularly with one organisation in England called Refuge, which has since the 1970s
Dialogue: 0,0:01:26.74,0:01:34.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,provided, among many other services, safe houses for women and children.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:34.83,0:01:43.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I mean SAFE houses where they can go and feel, perhaps for the first time in years,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:43.84,0:01:47.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,secure with their children.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:51.24,0:02:00.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Refuge is a great organisation. Now, a few months ago I did do this event, the Million Man Pledge,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:00.52,0:02:11.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which was co-sponsored by the United Nations, and it is a great campaign which is based on the belief
Dialogue: 0,0:02:11.66,0:02:24.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that the people who could do most to improve the situation of so many women and children
Dialogue: 0,0:02:24.75,0:02:34.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are, in fact, men. It's in our hands to stop violence towards women.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.79,0:02:48.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I do what I do -- I do what I do in my mother's name because I couldn't help her then.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:50.37,0:02:58.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now I can. But since -- and I've talked often about this, I'm on record about my childhood --
Dialogue: 0,0:02:58.78,0:03:08.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but last year, I learnt things about my father that I didn't know and my elder brother didn't know,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:08.08,0:03:17.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that was that in 1940, due to his experiences in France with the British expeditionary force,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:17.53,0:03:23.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,my father was suffering from what was then called severe shell shock.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:23.37,0:03:28.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that's what I read in his notes at the Imperial War Museum in England.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:28.78,0:03:36.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We now know it as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and we also know that there are soldiers now
Dialogue: 0,0:03:36.48,0:03:41.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,all over the world, here in the United States and in the United Kingdom who are returning
Dialogue: 0,0:03:41.32,0:03:51.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from combat zones with a serious condition of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Now we know what it is,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:51.05,0:04:01.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we know how to deal with it. In 1940 it was just shell shock, and basically soldiers were being told,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:01.19,0:04:06.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Pull yourself together. Get a grip on yourself and get out there and be a man."
Dialogue: 0,0:04:06.85,0:04:15.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, it has put [incomprehensible] an expert in this condition who works with a charity,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:15.98,0:04:22.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,another organisation I'm now happy to be a patron of called Combat Stress, has said to me,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:22.20,0:04:29.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"What your father had in 1940, because he was never treated, never left him.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:29.15,0:04:35.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And all the conditions of your childhood that you have described to me are classic symptoms
Dialogue: 0,0:04:35.58,0:04:45.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of veterans who were suffering from this serious psychological and physical illness."
Dialogue: 0,0:04:45.10,0:04:55.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I work for Refuge for my mother, and I work for Combat Stress for my father in equal measure.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:01.18,0:05:04.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Thank you so much. That was a beautiful story.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:04.12,0:05:08.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Thank you. And, my dear, are you OK? You are?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:08.92,0:05:17.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yeah... it, uh, knowing that the thing that happened... it's past and there was just a point of
Dialogue: 0,0:05:17.18,0:05:22.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,accepting that it was OK that it happened.\NYeah.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:22.92,0:05:28.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that I, you know, that I wasn't... because one thing that I've noticed is there's still that
Dialogue: 0,0:05:28.33,0:05:31.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,shaming of the women.\NYeah... yeah.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:31.54,0:05:38.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so, that, that speech really just finally let me say, "It's OK that that happened,"
Dialogue: 0,0:05:38.24,0:05:44.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you know, I can move on and heal. So I really appreciate it, I really do.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:44.58,0:05:52.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,As a child, I heard in my home doctors and ambulance men say, "Mrs Stewart,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:52.83,0:05:59.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you must have done something to provoke him. Mrs Stewart, it takes two to make an argument."
Dialogue: 0,0:05:59.38,0:06:08.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Wrong. Wrong! My mother did nothing to provoke that -- and even if she had, violence is
Dialogue: 0,0:06:08.85,0:06:14.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,never, ever a choice that a man should make. Ever.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:20.89,0:06:24.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And you know...
Dialogue: 0,0:06:29.72,0:06:35.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Guys, thank you. I look around and I see a lot of men standing up, and that's brilliant,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:35.54,0:06:44.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because you have, here in Texas, a man called Michael Rawlings, Mayor of Dallas.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:44.49,0:06:52.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Michael was with me on that platform at the United Nations event, and he spoke so potently
Dialogue: 0,0:06:52.03,0:06:59.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and so powerfully about these issues. He spoke about it from his own experience of being
Dialogue: 0,0:06:59.53,0:07:05.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a Texan and of living and working in Dallas, and I was so proud to share that platform with him.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:05.49,0:07:10.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He's a remarkable individual. OK, we're gonna talk about other things.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:10.03,0:07:19.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You take care of yourself.\NYou want a hug? Go get a hug.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:36.76,0:07:42.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Almost impossible to follow. So, uh...
