Searching for Angela Shelton.
Entertainment in America is a powerful way of communication. But too often what we see on TV shows are very different from what really happens in the real world! For instance, in the majority of criminal investigations we happen to watch on TV, the bad guys are always caught at the end. But is it how it really is?
" Searching for Angela Shelton" portraits a different scenario than what we`re used to believe through the media. More than half of the women she talked to (24 out of 40) were either raped, molested or abused in their past. And the most shocking part is that none of their abusers were ever caught. The vewer learns the fact that victims of crimes do not always get consolation. Another thing we have to consider is, did the law enforcement consider rape as a real crime compared to murder? We`ve seen the lack of judgement in Angela`s father`s trial; and how people often want to ignore the fact that it happened.Also in some of those cases, the lack of evidence or witnesses turn things around.
Bottom line is, any rapist or child molestor should be considered as a criminal; but it seems that it is easier to get away with such a crime than killing... for instance Angela``s father still lives a normal life after ruining three.
The only thing I would`ve changed if I was in the position to, would probably be that I will have a better diversity of Angelas Sheltons representing differnt minorities in America. Other than that, I really liked the movie and I think it raised an awareness to women all around America to speak up fo themselves.
