Hello everyone,

   A friend of mine has a great new film out and now it's available for us
to use in our work! Please read the description below and check out the
preview below!
Hope this finds you well,

Jonathan



The award-winning film SIN BY SILENCE is now available as a tool to help
educate and create awareness about the issues of domestic 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.

SIN BY SILENCE 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 through Women Make Movies, on domestic violence and
features more than two hours of bonus discussion videos including:

• Violence and Abuse: Interviews with experts on abusive relationships -
What is Abuse?, Warning Signs, Why She Stays, A Batterer's Perspective,
Public Safety Issue, and more

• Law Enforcement and Corrections: Interviews with law enforcement
leaders on their response to domestic violence, as well as inmate, staff
and experts perspectives on the prison system

• 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

“A film that touches the soul of any human concerned with justice and
fair treatment.  A cry for social action.”
Alyce LaViolette; Author, It Could Happen to Anyone; Founder, Alternatives
to Violence

"We aren't about judging men from wherever they are coming to this
conversation -- lord knows it was only a few short weeks/months/years since
any of us were sitting in very similar places -- really NOT wanting to hear
whatever it is that "those feminists" have to say about these issues. And
yet, here we are."

- Rus Ervin Funk
