Cast

Production

Linor Abargil began meeting with directors to encourage victims of sexual assault to speak out, seek help, and seek justice, and began meeting with film directors in Los Angeles, and met with Cecilia Peck, after seeing her previous film Dixie Chicks: Shut Up and Sing.^[2]^[3] Abargil always wanted to make a documentary in order for people not to feel alone and to reach more people than she could in person, taking her 10 years to gain the courage.^[4] The film was shot over the course of five years, as Abargil traveled the world giving speeches and meeting with victims of assault.^[5]^[6] Peck initially thought the film would be a quick shoot, but production paused several times in order to raise additional money, and the process was difficult for Abargil, also upon discovering her assaulter had been furloughed.^[7]^[8] In attempt to raise more money, the crew edited a trailer and launched an Indiegogo campaign, apart from asking friends and family for donations, before eventually securing the funds to continue production.^[9] Sharon Stone serves as a co-executive producer on the film.^[10]

Release

The film had its world premiere at the Dallas International Film Festival on April 10, 2013.^[11] It also screened at the AFI Docs Film Festival on June 21, 2013.^[12] The film was released in a limited release on November 15, 2013, as part of an awards qualifying run for the Academy Awards.^[13] Shortly after, Netflix acquired distribution rights to the film and released it on May 29, 2014.^[14]

Impact

The producers of the film launched a website bravemissworld.com to share their stories of assault and to keep up with Abargil as she continues to raise awareness having over 10 million visitors on the website.^[15] The film also screens on college campuses across the United States to continue to raise awareness of sexual assault.^[16]
