Important, but still so heartbreaking to watch. Some of the stories were the stuff of nightmares. But what an amazing, strong activist.

Intense and important. Perhaps could have used some editing (too long and repetitive in ways that I think undercut its power, which is nonetheless formidable), but a striking and touching film. A must-see for young women (and men) especially.

Her story is a remarkable one, but this documentary is somewhat messy and I was often frustrated by her as a person. She showed a real lack of patience for women who were not strong enough to respond as bravely as she did, or to come forward. So it was all sort-of a mixed bag to me in the end.

Impressive. This should be required viewing on US campuses right now.

Watched at a special screening at our synagogue for NCJW. Really hard to watch when Linor talks with all the other victims of rape who share their stories with her. Linor is an amazing brave woman to take her personal tragedy and not only speak out, but create a website for and counsel other victims. She then went to law school and became a prosecutor herself.

Seen as part of the 52 Films by Women pledge - film number 41.

A heartbreaking documentary, directed by Gregory Peck's daughter Cecilia Peck, following the story of Linor Abargil from being raped just weeks before being crowned Miss World, through her fight to keep her attacker behind bars and her work to hightlight the subject matter worldwide through talking to other victims. At times this is not an easy watch however, neither should it be. These are horrific stories being told and they should not be shyed away from.

1998 Miss World Linor Abargil interviews fellow rape survivors including actresses Joan Collins and Fran Drescher. While I've heard Drescher's story before, I never knew Joan Collins married her rapist, actor Maxwell Reed, which apparently was only revealed in this documentary. There are three short behind the scenes episodes on Netflix and in one of them Linor confronts the woman who got her in touch with her rapist. She also talks to an agency director who admits she continues sending some women to work with predators. According to her, 20 year old models can handle themselves, whereas teenagers can't.

Brave Miss World is just as heart-wrenching and heartbreaking as you would expect from a documentary discussing rape. I didn't know Linor’s story before watching Brave Miss World. Which is a shame, I hate when a story like this goes under the radar (at least to me) when it should be widely known everywhere. Nevertheless, I'm glad I did learn about Linor’s story because it's one that going to stay with me for a long time to come.

Can't remember much about this except crying a lot and wanting to vomit

Inspiring documentary chronicles how Miss World, Linor Abargil revealed that weeks before she became Miss World she was raped and how she has since become the voice of victims and inspired other victims to come forward to tell their story.

the religious aspect is really interesting tbh

Another horrible documentary about rape and sexual abuse. Yet again I feel ashamed to be a man after this.
