Surviving a sexual assault involves not only physical survival but the slow restoration of emotional and spiritual wellness. This film focuses on three survivors, two women and a man, who poignantly and openly share their experience and its aftermath. Julia was assaulted in her home by a stranger; Carol was assaulted by a family member when she was ten; and Randy, an ex-Marine, was raped in a public restroom.
The purpose of From Victim to Survivor is to educate the public on this sensitive subject. Most importantly, it encourages present and future victims of sexual assault to come forward and receive the help and support they desperately need.

"With excellent use of firsthand accounts... this tape gives a sense of hope that some effects of the trauma can decrease as the victim gets help in regaining self-esteem and control over life. Excellent for use in classes in high school and college, for survivors and their families, for workers in the helping professions and for general audiences." - Choice
