Searching for Angela Shelton

Saturday, April 21 at 8pm
As part of Child Abuse Awareness Month, The Bridge and Foothills Child Advocacy Center are co-hosting a special engagement screening of the Award-winning documentary Searching for Angela Shelton with filmmaker Angela Shelton.

The film documents Shelton’s personal journey into her difficult past. Beginning in 2001, the filmmaker began contacting and interviewing women, across the country, who shared her name. She came to discover that of the 40 women interviewed over half had been raped, beaten, or molested. The discovery ultimately leads Shelton to confront her own past in an emotional and candid meeting with her father, who molested her and her step siblings for several years. The film beautifully illustrates the importance of forgiveness, faith, and the power of the human spirit.

There will be a discussion with the filmmaker following the screening.
