At the age of twenty-seven, writer and actress, Angela Shelton, who had already received accolades for her previous movie, "Tumbleweeds," set out to create a documentary during the Writer's Strike. Her goal was to survey women in America by interviewing the women who shared her name. She threw a party to raise funds and convinced a crew of four to go on the road for 60 days in a rented motor home.As Angela started interviewing other Angela Sheltons she found that 70% had been victims of rape, childhood sexual assault and/or domestic violence. This surprising journey also led Angela to confront her own abusive past and her pedophile father on Father's Day. The multi-award winning documentary "Searching for Angela Shelton" has started a grassroots movement of healing for survivors of abuse of all genders.Angela not only inspires trauma survivors to heal, she is the superhero, Safe Side Super Chick, who teaches children how to be safe in the Safe Side video series created by Baby Einstein creator, Julie Clark, and America's Most Wanted creator, John Walsh. Angela is currently shooting a new Safe Side video while writing a script for a major motion picture studio about her travels while making the documentary.Angela has quickly become recognized as one of the more outspoken voices for survivors of trauma. Due to the overwhelming audience response, Angela has created the Angela Shelton Foundation with the mission of inspiring and empowering all survivors of abuse to heal and lead joyful lives.Today, Angela travels the world, bringing her message of healing to audiences worldwide.
