Blog: Brave Miss World<\/p>\n
PAAR is honored to be a co-sponsor of the\u00a0Brave Miss World<\/i>\u00a0Pittsburgh Premier at the 2014 JFilm Festival this Thursday, April 3rd<\/sup>. The film documents one survivor\u2019s personal mission to empower other survivors to come forward and tell their stories. It also illustrates the vital role family and friends can play into a victim\u2019s recovery.<\/p>\n Just weeks before Linor Abargil was crowned Miss World 1998, she was brutally raped while modeling in Italy. Years later, in the\u00a0documentary Brave Miss World<\/a>, director Cecilia Peck followed Linor as she traveled the globe, encouraging other women to speak out about their own victimization.<\/p>\n At Thursday\u2019s premier following the film PAAR\u2019s Executive Director, Alison Hall, will be leading a Q&A session with Linor. We will share her answers and viewer\u2019s reactions to the film on our blog.<\/p>\n Stay tuned!<\/p>\n Below is the trailer for the film, as well as a link to a podcast discussing the film with its director Cecilia Peck and Alison.<\/p>\n
