"Perhaps everything terrible is in its deepest being something helpless that wants help from us." --Rainer Maria Rilke

Searching For Angela Shelton

Three years ago Angela Shelton decided to call up all of the other Angela Sheltons in America. She did a search on the Internet, spoke with 32 Angelas and drove 14,000 miles in 57 days to meet 17 of them. She told them that she was a filmmaker in Hollywood, who came from an abusive background, who had almost been raped twice, and who was a single divorced woman living with her dog and trying to make a movie. Then she quietly waited to be hung up on. The response she got changed her life and is changing the world.
