Summary

"I think there's a reason why we get into careers that we get into. And I'm not just like making a generalization, but I'm sure that there's a lot of fighters out there that had a really hard childhood." That’s Kimberly Shannon Murphy, she’s Hollywood’s go-to stunt double for premier silver screen actresses. If you’ve seen a movie or a TV show made in the last 20 years, chances are you’ve seen Kimberly without even knowing it. This story contains child abuse. But that is not what it's about. This is a story of survival, hope and healing. If you are experiencing sexual assault, you do not have to suffer alone. You can talk to someone for confidential 24/7 support by calling 1-800-656-4673. And for the 24/7 child abuse hotline, call 1-800-4-A-child, that’s 1-800-422-4453. If you know someone who is experiencing abuse, or if you suspect abuse, please don’t wait. Music created for this show by John Fio. Show artwork by Allison Conway.

at Blockbuster, I was teaching myself how a movie is made. At the same time, I was just starting therapy. I think there's a reason
