Last year I was surprised by how refreshing The Time Traveler’s Wife was, it was chick flick mixed with a bit of sci-fi and it was heartbreaking and nothing short of romantic.

With all this Chris Brown Vs. Rihanna.. (I meant the abuse, not the legalities), more and more awareness about Domestic violence is behind emphasized. The great cutie but skinny Keira Knightley collaborated with her Pride and Prejudice director Joe Wright and came up with the PSA ad for the charity Women’s Aid that you can watch via the vibrant video above. Check it out and let me know what you think… is it too strong of a message? Do you think the ad’s effective? Do you have a better idea?
