Saoirse Ronan Teams Up With Hozier For Domestic Violence Campaign

Saoirse Ronan carefully takes off her makeup in Hozier‘s “Cherry Wine” music video.

The 21-year-old Brooklyn actress plays the part of a happy wife in the video which shines a light on domestic abuse and all proceeds from the purchase of the song will be donated to domestic abuse charities and launched the #FaceUptoDomesticViolence campaign.

Hozier sings from the perspective of a male abuse sufferer. “I tried to get across the difficulty of coming to terms with and facing up to domestic violence and the dynamic of an abusive relationship,” he shared in a statement.

Saoirse added, “I hope through the video and song we can shine light on the issue and complexity of domestic abuse and in doing so help those caught up in the cycle of domestic violence.”
