Along with survivor stories, the film shares interviews with therapists, nurses, police, and sexual assault advocates.

Doors to this free event open at 7 p.m. and the film begins at 7:30 p.m. in the Historic Howell Theater, 315 E. Grand River Ave., Howell. Space is limited and guests are encouraged to arrive early to secure complementary admission tickets and preferred seating.

Following the film, a panel discussion will include survivors, a therapist from the film, and producer/survivor Laura E. Swanson.
