SIN BY SILENCE
SIN BY SILENCE, about the first inmate led battered women’s group in the US prison system, went on to win numerous film festival and advocacy awards, highlighted by People Magazine, CNN, HLN, NPR, and broadcasted on Investigation Discovery in 2011 to over 2.2 million viewers. The film even went on to inspire new legislation in California based on the documentary. “The Sin by Silence Bills,” AB 593 and AB 1593, were signed into law by Governor Brown on September 30, 2012, to improve the paths for freedom of nearly 7000 currently incarcerated domestic violence victims who have spent decades behind bars.
