About the Documentary

In this autobiographical exploration of survivorship, New Orleans journalist and filmmaker Jasmín Mara López unabashedly shares her process of healing from childhood sexual abuse. After Jasmín discloses to her family she’d been abused by her grandfather, she liberates others to come forward in a story of confronting a culture of silence over generational trauma.

If you or someone you know has been a victim of sexual abuse, information and resources are available at rainn.org or by calling 1-800-656-HOPE (4673).
