jtrott Review of Searching for Angela Shelton

Searching for Angela Shelton (2004)

Best movie on surviving child sexual abuse ever

[10/10 · 23 November 2005]

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!
