 Angela Shelton 
producer of the award-winning documentary film
"Searching for Angela Shelton"

In 2001, at the age of twenty-seven, Angela Shelton, actress, comedian, and screenwriter (best known for Tumbleweeds), set out to create a documentary of American women’s experiences by interviewing women who shared her name. She went on the road in a rented motor home with a small crew to interview Angela Shelton’s across the country. Unexpectedly, she found that 70% of the Angela Shelton’s she encountered had been victims of rape, childhood sexual assault and/or domestic violence. This surprising journey also led Angela to confront her own abusive past.

The multi-award winning documentary, “Searching for Angela Shelton,” has started a grassroots movement aimed at inspiring and empowering survivors of abuse to heal and lead joyful lives.  With the attention she has received from her documentary, she is working to support and connect domestic violence and sexual abuse prevention organizations around the globe.  She also wrote a book on these experiences, "Finding Angela Shelton."
