This is an amazing movie. You can't watch it and walk away unaffected! Angela could have picked any name and that much is apparent in this movie. It opens your eyes to the epidemic of abuse that exists not only in America but worldwide. I can't wait until this movie comes out in the theaters. I will bring my friends and family and get them to pay attention. Buy this movie! Change your world. 5 words that describe this movie: EMOTIONAL EDUCATIONAL MOTIVATIONAL ENTERTAINING IMPORTANT.

Best movie on surviving child sexual abuse ever
I thank Angela Shelton so much for making this movie and allowing all of us to share her journey and meet so many other survivors. This movie is so empowering to survivors of child sexual abuse that I really feel it is a "must see" for everybody who has survived abuse. I am an Angela Shelton. I had the chance to talk to her after I watched the movie, and she is so genuine and such a fighter, and she has come a long way in her own healing process since she made that movie. The scene with her father in the movie is very frustrating, but she told me that she didn't need to confront him again because she knew her own truth and didn't need any confirmation from him to move on with her life (not that he's capable of giving it. Bravo Angela!
the best documentary on the topic of sexual abuse
Filmmaker Angela Shelton turns the camera on herself as she searches to find what others with the same name experience in different parts of the country. What she finds, seemingly by accident, is that more than half of the Angela Sheltons she meets have been raped, beaten, or molested. This is representative of the 1 in 3 women in the USA who will experience violence in her lifetime. I am the author of a book on the same topic (Beyond the Tears: A True Survivor's Story) so I can testify to the courage and commitment it took for Angela Shelton to bring these dark secrets to light. Anyone viewing this film, whether or not they have been abused, will experience insight, enlightenment, and inspiration. Bravo to Angela Shelton for opening lines of communication with this excellent documentary!
An Amazing "Must See" Movie - Searching for Angela Shelton.
Searching for Angela Shelton is the best documentary I have seen to date regarding the pandemic of sexual abuse and the effects it has on women. Ignoring all racial, ethnic, economic and cultural boundaries; this movie not only portrays survivors in America but around the world today. It is a "must see" for both survivors and non-survivors alike to give a much needed awareness to such a boundless problem around the globe. I believe that this movie is key in stopping the cycle of abuse and allowing for survivors to take back their light. Amazing! Thank you for this movie and everything that it will continue to give back to the world. Together, we CAN stop the cycle of abuse. You are not alone.
Inspiring
I first saw a 48 Hours show discussing the making of this documentary and immediately went online to find out more about Angela Shelton. I bought the DVD just a few months after it was released and it took some time to decide I was able to watch it (because I am a survivor too.) When I did finally watch it . . . I found it to be inspiring and not at all depressing. It's important for all men and women to see this documentary to see what our society keeps taboo. It doesn't help at all to keep quiet about abuse of any kind, it just continues the cycle. Please see it and buy a copy and give it to your local library if you can. Peace and love to all.
