Los Angeles Times, 14-Nov-2013/By Sheri Linden: Linor Abargil's emotional response to being crowned Miss World in 1998 was more than just a case of tears of joy: Weeks before the event, the reigning Miss Israel had been raped at knifepoint in Milan, Italy. An 18-year-old with remarkable inner strength and a supportive family, Abargil refused to submit to shaming silence and fought to bring her attacker to justice.
"Brave Miss World," Cecilia Peck's intimate documentary portrait, illuminates the ways the attack changed the course of her subject's life — and shows that, in this supposedly enlightened age, rape victims who speak out are still often stigmatized rather than championed, even on U.S. college campuses.Read the complete review of the documentary "Brave Miss World" on the Los Angeles Times website.
