    The film Sin By Silence, presented here by Hands of Ahava, offers a unique gateway into the lives of women who are domestic violence's living worst-case scenarios - women who have killed their abusers. While most of the women in Sin By Silence may remain in prison for the remainder of their lives, these women are committed to helping others understand the reality of domestic violence. This view inside the California Institution for Women, the first inmate initiated and led group in U.S. prison history, shatters the misconceptions of domestic violence. Instead of fighting a system that does not fully comprehend the complexities of abuse, the women of CWAA led an initiative to help educate the system. Through careful orchestration of letter writing campaigns, media coverage, and senate hearings a movement was born and laws for battered women were changed. And for the founder of CWAA, the flicker of hope begins to grow as her possible freedom, after 26 years in prison, lies moments away.
