For Angela is a story about a woman who was compelled to change attitudes and shatter stereotypes. It's a story about a racial assault that could have been ruinous, instead it was empowering. Inspired by a true story, this film is emotionally charged and beautifully acted. Rhonda Gordon and her daughter didn't want a confrontation, they didn't want a fight, they did want their dignity. A bus ride changed their lives, but in a way no one could have foreseen. Rhonda had the courage and the will to take a unique and powerful stand against ignorance and prejudice. She did it For Angela.
