Without Fear is a powerful film of how six women became survivors. Following the journey of Bessie, Dulari, Emma-Jane, Karen Jean, Leonie and Lisa, we begin to understand the landscape of violence in Canadian society and why all women are at risk of being abused. These women are among the 4,000 people the Canadian Panel on Violence Against Women met during a nationwide consultation tour. In this film, you will get to know them personally and find out what needs to be changed so that one day all women in Canada can live without fear.
