Screening: I Am Elizabeth Smart

Madison Square

13 November, 2017

In I Am Elizabeth Smart, Smart herself, as a producer and on-screen narrator, explores how she survived her captivity, and confronts the misconceptions about it. The film stars Alana Boden as a young Smart, and Skeet Ulrich as her religious fanatic, Brian David Mitchell, who took Smart from her Salt Lake City home in June 2002, and subsequently starved, drugged, and raped her, subjecting her to bizarre religious rituals until, nine months later, she enabled her own rescue. This Screening was hosted in collaboration with Lifetime.
