Documentary - Searching for Angela Shelton

Here’s the hard, but freeing, truth: People don’t change from statistics. They change when a story hits them in the gut. You don’t need another slide deck.

You need a human being, telling the truth, in a way no one can un-hear.

That’s exactly what Searching for Angela Shelton does.

For decades, the conversation around abuse has been:

• Clinical
  

• Sanitized
  

• Easy to dismiss
  
  

If someone hasn’t experienced it personally, they can watch from a safe emotional distance.

But when a woman literally drives across America calling every “Angela Shelton” in the country…

…and discovers that most of them have been abused too…

…it stops being “someone else’s problem.”

It becomes a mirror.

That’s why, no matter how many workshops or pamphlets we create, the silence stays in place: we’re not breaking through people’s hearts.

When you bring Searching for Angela Shelton into your home, classroom, church, or organization, the game changes.

• Survivors stop feeling crazy and alone.
  

• Bystanders finally “get it” without being lectured.
  

• Men and women see how deep the pattern runs—and how powerful it is to speak up.
  
  

Instead of another depressing film, you get a raw, funny, hopeful road trip that:

• Exposes the reality of abuse with unflinching honesty
  

• Shows what healing can actually look like
  

• Sparks the conversations most people are terrified to start
  
  

You don’t have to be a therapist or a perfect activist.

You just press play… and let the story open the door.

Imagine what becomes possible when:

• A survivor hears, “Me too,” and believes, “If she can heal, maybe I can too.”
  

• A classroom or congregation stops fidgeting and starts leaning in.
  

• An organization finally has a shared emotional experience that makes policy, prevention, and protection non-negotiable.
  
  

That’s the ripple effect this film was created to unleash.
