Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

["Women Make Movies Educate" <>]

I thought SAPC members would be interested in the below announcement for SIN 
BY SILENCE, a powerful new documentary now available through Women Make 
Movies, and a special offer on domestic violence resources. 

One in four American women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime. 
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, which aims to educate the 
public about ending the cycle of violence - something that the Convicted 
Women Against Abuse (CWAA), the first group initiated and led by inmates in 
the US prison system, has been doing since 1989.  
 
WMM new release SIN BY SILENCE by Olivia Klaus profiles the extraordinary 
women of CWAA, who have worked from behind prison walls to shatter 
misconceptions and change laws for battered women. This essential tool is the 
most comprehensive educational resource available on domestic violence and 
features more than two hours of bonus discussion videos, including:
* Violence and Abuse: What is Abuse?, Warning Signs, Why She Stays, A 
Batterer's Perspective, and more
* Law Enforcement and Corrections: Interviews with law enforcement leaders on 
their response to domestic violence and inmate and staff perspectives on the 
prison system 
* Interviews with experts on abusive relationships 
* Legal Aspects: CWAA founder Brenda Clubine's full hearing and interviews 
with a former juror and expert witness 

"A powerful and compelling movie about injustice... Brenda['s] intelligence, 
passion, and determination to keep working until all battered women are 
released is deeply inspiring."- Nancy Lemon, J.D.; Author, Domestic Violence 
Law; Lecturer, Berkeley Law
