2/18/18. I admire Linor Abargil for having the inner strength and determination to make something positive out of being raped. She went on to become a lawyer and then brought the rapist to justice and went on to raise awareness of the importance for raped women to speak up. Not too many women have the wherewithal to do something like this (well, maybe Gloria Allred pioneered this approach, and Abargil just expanded it onto a global scale). Better editing would have made the movie more cohesive. Nevertheless, the stories of raped women were so sad to hear.

This is a powerful and moving documentary that tackles an important problem in our world. I did not know about Ms Abargil and her incredible mission to help women around the world speak out and find their voice about the horrible epidemic of rape. She is a strong, smart, compassionate woman who has not allowed rape to silence or crush her spirit and who is trying to empower other victims. Her story and the stories others share throughout this film are stomach turning but enlightening. I was not aware of many of the legal issues and problems with bringing rapists to justice that are highlighted here. I think these things are important to know and I hope more viewers will see this now that it is available on Netflix. I am very impressed by her work and this movie, I recommend it to everyone.

When I watched 'I am Brave' it was just new on netflix and I was doing some studying and thought i'll just watch this. Bad Idea. I was glued to my television screen as though it is sad in parts Linor's strength makes the documentary enjoyable. It is about Linor Abargil, a woman who was crowned Miss World back in 1998...only weeks after she was raped. However she got through that Miss world is a miracle to me - who has experienced abuse as a child - it just shows her strength and that she was never going to be a victim. In many ways it has given me strength for my personal journey now, just being able to see how this beautiful woman managed and helped women all over the world. Plus responding to emails etc. It makes you realise that rape and talking about it is still such a taboo - all subjects of that variety are. I am a survivor of child sexual abuse and no-one would ever be happy to bring that up in a conversation. Not details, but just the topic in general. I do just to get it out there make people more aware. There are parts that can make you angry and upset for Linor and other Rape victims but your will need to watch the documentary to see that. How Cecelia Peck has made it so it is not just one big depressing documentary is amazing. She has managed to bring out Linors strength of character in every action she takes. I had honestly never heard of or taken much notice of who producers, writes or has a huge influence in all those important things until now, but I think she did an amazing job in every way. Thank you for sharing this story with us. And thank you Linor for sharing your story through Cecilia, and making me realise at a time I needed it to grab that strength I know I had and use and move on. So, a big thank you, many people will benefit greatly from your sharing.

American actress, producer and director Cecilia Peck's second documentary feature which she co-produced, is inspired by real events and the filmmakers meeting with a former gentile and a film producer. It premiered in the United States, was shot on locations in Italy, USA, Israel and South Africa and is an Italy-USA-Israel-South Africa co-production which was produced by producers Inbal B. Lessner and Motty Reif. It tells the story about an Israeli sister, theater actress, lawyer, lecturer, mother and wife named Linor Abargil, born in the city of Netanya, Israel in the early 1980s and in the late 1990s as an eighteen-year-old, crowned Miss Israel.Distinctly and subtly directed by American filmmaker Cecilia Peck, this quietly paced documentary which is narrated from multiple viewpoints though mostly by and from the person in question's point of view, draws a somewhat biographical portrayal of a person whom after being designated as a victim in judicial terms, autonomously eradicates the label from her identity, stands up for herself in virtuous indignation, reduces silence, invokes her female intuition, becomes revolution, rebuilds her life and by example demonstrates the consequences which follows when someone violates a Jewish woman. While notable for its atmospheric and versatile milieu depictions and cinematography, this dialog-driven and narrative-driven story about a daughter, supported by her family and friends, whose personal experiences takes her to new acquaintances and drives her into global advocacy for women's rights, was made more than a century after a French sister and educator baptized Marie taught a French child first named Marie the Braille alphabet, the finger-spelling alphabet and how to communicate with sign language, thirty-nine years after a professional Belgian revolutionary feminist filmmaker with a given name of French origins released a narrative feature with a Lebanese actress named Delphine Claire Beltiane Seyrig, one year before a Nigerian author named Chimamanda Ngoz Adichie released a book and the storyteller, in an interview, said: "The feminine force is a force that can win the world over." and an American mother sang: "… do you think they'll try to break my balls? … should I trust the government? … will they put me in the firing line?" this substantial retelling contains straightforward conversations and a great and timely score by composers Martin Tillman and Ben Harper.This transcending and embryonic human journey which is set in Italy, USA, Israel and South Africa in the late 20th century and early 21st century and where parents are there for their firstborn child, numerous women are interviewed about their involuntarily non-consensual experiences, her story is told, her pride is intact and her Jewishness is not in doubt, is impelled and reinforced by its cogent narrative structure, rhythmic continuity, multiple stories and comment by a survivor: "They are saying we wish to hear the perpetrator, and you are uninteresting. Stay home and write a letter. It's yet another violation … A pacifying documentary feature.
