Grammy winner Martina McBride, a long-time supporter of Lifetime's anti- violence campaign and a champion of the National Domestic Violence Hotline, is dedicating her new single, "Anyway," as a tribute to Debbie Smith and survivors of violence everywhere. The song will anchor a moving original video trailer -- featuring McBride, scenes from "A Life Interrupted," and powerful images of sexual assault survivors by photographer Nobuko Oyabu -- which will air at the end of the film and will be featured in a viral e-card promoting the anti-violence message.
