Searching for Angela Shelton
Angela Shelton - Filmmaker attending
Filmmaker Angela Shelton sets out on a journey
to meet every other Angela Shelton in America
and through them survey the early 21st Century
thoughts of American women. What she wasn't prepared
for was learning that 16 out of 32 Angela Sheltons
she spoke to had been raped, beaten or molested,
herself included. 'Searching for Angela Shelton'
forced Angela Shelton to confront her past and
her own father. The Angela Sheltons complete the
journey by teaching the filmmaker about forgiveness,
faith, and the power of the human spirit. (93
