In LOUD AND CLEAR five women and one man talk about the effects of sexual abuse on their lives. Years and in some cases decades afterwards, they have managed to find words for what these incidents have done to them. All of them have managed to survive the most painful aspects of dealing with their experiences, often after years of therapy. The protagonists, rather than assuming the role of victims, see themselves as survivors, people who have learned to analyze, categorize and reconsider their childhood experiences.
