Sin by Silence Screening and Discussion at The Women's Building 11 May 2010
Sin by Silence is a film about women who were imprisoned for killing their abusers. Despite prison walls, these women change laws and lives for those dealing with abuse.
While most of the women in Sin by Silence may remain in prison for the remainder of their lives, these women are committed to helping others understand the reality of domestic violence.
Through their stories of terror and hope, the viewer can begin to understand the cycle of violence, the signs of an abuser, and how each and every one of us is responsible for changing the tragedy of domestic violence.
We will also hear from the California Coalition for Women Prisoners (CCWP) about their work to challenge the institutional violence imposed on women, transgender people, and communities of color by the prison industrial complex.
Hosted by Thao (Thao with the Get Down Stay Down) and The Women's Building.
This event is free but we will be accepting donations for CCWP.
