Documentary on Israeli beauty queen Linor Abargil, who was abducted and raped in Milan, Italy two months before being crowned Miss World in 1998.
Now a globe-trotting victims' advocate, Linor encourages others to stand against sexual violence by putting an end to their silence. She travels to speak with teens in South Africa, where girls are statistically more likely to be raped than educated. For victims of sexual assault, the journey toward wholeness never ends; still, Linor Abargil continues her unflinching efforts to keep the nightmares at bay.
