Incredibly moving, disturbing, upsetting, inspiring.......2006-11-06

This documentary is such a phenomenon. When Angela set out to make this, she didn't have the intention of it focusing on abuse. She was merely between jobs and came up with the idea to direct her own documentary about women who shared her name. But with Angela Shelton after Angela Shelton that she encountered, there seemed to be a common bond...some sort of past abuse. This thrust the issue of the sexual abuse she experienced as a child to the forefront of her mind, and she just went with it. It all culminated with a face-to-face confrontation with her nutcase father (who was one of her abusers), who denied ever doing any of those "sick" things to her. (GRRRR that made me SOOOOOO mad!!!!!) With all of the emotions (and this is a VERY emotional film), you are right there with her. I highly recommend everybody to watch this, as child sexual abuse is so unfortunatly rampant in our society.

I feel like a better person by just coming to "know" Angela Shelton. Even after all she has been through, she is one of the least embittered women I have seen. She is so bright and so friendly, it is so easy to see how so many women opened up their lives to her. Although she is still very much painfully affected by her past traumas (I just saw an interview today with her, and she became so upset she could barely continue speaking), she is not using it as an excuse to be a bitter, vengeful person who never gets on with life. She is truly an inspiration, as are the other Angela Sheltons she meets!

THANK YOU, ANGELA SHELTON!!!!!
I am so happy you found what you were searching for.

"...This is a necessary movie to watch--for both women AND men. The joy it manages to find will leave you mindful of the good that is to be found in life, despite the darkness that too often creeps under locked doors. This a movie about overcoming the darkness and allowing yourself to step into the light.

I dare you to watch this film and come away unaffected..." -Jeremy Hanke, Microfilmmaker.com

I watched this film as part of Victim's Advocate training and it is without a doubt the most powerful, compelling documentary on sexual assault survival I have seen to date. Although there are some disturbing truths detailed in the film, there is also a strong message of survival and that when you least expect it, you can make a difference to a victim to help them on the road to recovery. I would dearly love to have my own copy but unfortunately, no one seems to have any copies available!

I had to watch this documentary for a family violence class for college. I found this to be overwhelmingly powerful and real. I felt Angela's emotions as she was screaming and crying. I don't know how anyone can abuse someone and moreless a child. I also found it unreal that there are so many women with the same name and similar story! What a great film to put things into perspective.

If after watching this you are not forever changed, you have no soul. Angela bears her heart for the world to see and by doing so encourages other women to do the same. I want to hug her neck and give her a standing ovation for her courage. As a survivor myself, she gives me strength to be a voice against sexual abuse. I have recommended this documentary to many people - both male and female.
