Emmy nominated BRAVE MISS WORLD is a call for justice and a startlingly honest portrayal of how personal tragedy can be transformed into a global awareness campaign against sexual violence. While working as a model in Milan, Linor Abargil was stabbed and raped. Weeks later she was crowned Miss World. Director Cecilia Peck (Shut Up & Sing) follows Abargil, on a mission to confront the trauma of her past, and prevent the parole of the man who assaulted her. Abargil, a poised and deeply empathic advocate travels the world, from rape crisis centers to college campuses and beyond, to share her story and inspire others to confront shame and to heal.
