SIN BY SILENCE <http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c759.shtml>
From behind prison walls, a group of extraordinary women are shattering 
misconceptions of domestic violence. An important film that profiles 
Convicted Women Against Abuse (CWAA), the US prison system’s first inmate 
initiated group and led by women, SIN BY SILENCE is an essential resource 
featuring more than two hours of bonus materials, including interviews with 
experts on abusive relationships, law enforcement leaders and leaders in 
faith-based communities about domestic violence, and more. 

Created by Brenda Clubine in 1989, CWAA has changed laws for battered women, 
raised awareness for those on the outside, and educated a system that does 
not fully comprehend the complexities of domestic abuse. Like many CWAA 
members, Brenda’s years of inflicted abuse were never fully revealed. But 
because of CWAA’s work and advocacy, new laws were enacted that now allow 
incarcerated survivors to challenge their original conviction. With 
unprecedented access inside the California Institution for Women, this 
emotionally packed documentary tells the stories of courageous women who have 
learned from their past, are changing their future, and teaching us how 
domestic violence affects each and every person.
