A film: Sin by Silence, a shocking look at domestic violence in America, and what happens when women fight back. From behind prison walls, a group of extraordinary women are shattering misconceptions of domestic violence. These women fought back and killed their abusers - and as a result, have received sentences ranging from decades to life, longer than some rapists and non-abuse murderers.
Sin by Silence will air on Monday, October 17, on Investigation Discovery (ID) at 8 pm EST. Check here for local listings. Download the Sin by Silence study guide PDF here. Watch the trailer from Sin by Silence here.
