Olivia Klaus: Sin By Silence

Convicted Women Against Abuse (CWAA) was created in 1989 to help women inside prison break the silence about abuse and learn more about what they needed to do to help others stop the cycle of violence.
Director Olivia Klaus joins me to discuss how she influenced social change throughout the State of California through her film, Sin by Silence.
