Brave Miss World (Community Screening)

Pittsburgh Premiere

Director: Cecilia Peck

2013, United States, 92 minutes

Weeks before Linor Abargil was crowned Miss World 1998, she was brutally raped while modeling in Italy. Years later, director Cecilia Peck follows Abargil as she finally confronts her rapist and journeys to empowerment. By raising awareness of her experience and engaging other women to speak out about their own stories of rape, Abargil begins to heal herself as she helps others.

Linor Abargil will speak following the screening.
