Beauty Bites Beast

Consider that one third of all women and girls worldwide are assaulted during their lifetime, and chances are they didn't fight back. Why is this, when females of other species would? "Beauty Bites Beast" sets out to answer this question and vanquish the barriers to teaching women and girls unarmed verbal and physical empowerment-based self-defense. The film flips ideas about female helplessness, as women undertake the transformative experience of learning verbal, emotional and physical techniques and reclaim their lives. How often can you say with certainty that a movie will save lives? This one already has.
