BRAVE MISS WORLD

BRAVE MISS WORLD
Dir. Cecilia Peck (90min, Israel/USA, 2013)
In Hebrew, English and Italian with English Subtitles
Documentary 

Linor Abargil,
an Israeli beauty queen, was raped two months before being crowned Miss
World.  Twelve years later, she’s ready to talk about it – and to
encourage others to speak out. Now a globe-trotting victims’ advocate,
Linor encourages people to stand against sexual violence by putting an
end to their silence. She travels to speak with teens in South Africa,
where girls are statistically more likely to be raped than educated. She
visits Princeton and UC Santa Barbara, where women describe a campus
culture that fails to take assaults seriously. From Cleveland’s Rape
Crisis Center to Hollywood’s living rooms, Linor is met with emotional
support. Yet when she attends a celebrity rape trial that hits too close
to home, she suffers a breakdown. In searching for something to ease
her pain, Linor turns to Orthodox Judaism. 

Followed by a conversation with one of the survivors featured in the film.

Presented in partnership with GLOE.
