From behind prison walls, Sin by Silence reveals the lives of extraordinary women who advocate for a future free from domestic violence. Sponsored by the YWCA Battered Women Task Force as part of the Week Without Violence, October 18–25.

From behind prison walls, SIN BY SILENCE reveals the lives of extraordinary women who advocate for a future free from domestic violence. Inside the California Institution for Women, the first inmate-initiated and led group in the U.S. prison system, shatters the misconceptions of domestic violence. Against the system and against the odds, the women of Convicted Women Against Abuse have risen to expose the stigma of the cycle of domestic violence, reveal the brutal details of violent relationships, explain the lack of options available to women and, most importantly, how domestic violence affects each and every one of us.                                    
The film's producer Olivia Klaus and one of the women in the film, Brenda Clubine, will be at the screening and panel discussion.  The website for the film also has additional info:  http://www.sinbysilence.com/film/
