In 1998, Linor Abargil won the title of Miss World, a beauty pageant after being sexually assaulted weeks prior.

[1] Linor Abargil began meeting with directors to encourage victims of sexual assault to speak out, seek help, and seek justice, and began meeting with film directors in Los Angeles, and met with Cecilia Peck, after seeing her previous film Dixie Chicks: Shut Up and Sing.

[4] The film was shot over the course of five years, as Abargil traveled the world giving speeches and meeting with victims of assault.

[5][6] Peck initially thought the film would be a quick shoot, but production paused several times in order to raise additional money, and the process was difficult for Abargil, also upon discovering her assaulter had been furloughed.

[7][8] In attempt to raise more money, the crew edited a trailer and launched an Indiegogo campaign, apart from asking friends and family for donations, before eventually securing the funds to continue production.
