Join us for the premiere screening of Survivors: Living Beyond Sexual Assault, a powerful new documentary that honors all survivors of sexual assault. This will be a night to focus on a widely under-reported topic – yet one that’s immensely important to the health of our community – with an emphasis on healing, empowerment, and solidarity.
The Santa Rosa Metro Chamber is proud of our partnership with Verity, Sonoma County's rape crisis, trauma and healing center, to help make this film happen. In this 30-minute film, four Sonoma County residents – Sarah, Peter, Megan and Lisa – tell the stories of the incidents that forever changed their lives and the courage and resilience it took to create lives that are not centered on the assaults. A conversation and Q&A with all four survivors in the film will follow the screening.
Survivors explores how we rise above trauma and reclaim our lives. With each survivor on a different path to healing in the film, a compelling truth emerges: sexual assault can happen to anyone in our community, and when it does, advocates and groups in Sonoma County are dedicated to supporting all of us. We also learn how sharing one’s story can help other survivors heal.
Survivors Film Premiere and Panel Discussion is on Friday, April 22, 7:30pm at the Luther Burbank Center. Proceeds from ticket sales will support Verity.
