When May - not her real name - broke up with her boyfriend, he wouldn't let her go. He'd be waiting for her at the gym, or the mall. He'd repeatedly show up at her house - even outside the house of the man she was dating.
The escalation of the episodes and her increasing fears of what he could do to her have been captured in a new short film called The Man Outside. Kathryn speaks with May about her experience, as well as the film's producer Jessica Todd who hopes it'll shine a light on the legal situation stalking victims find themselves having to deal with. You can watch the film here.
