Angelena Bonet Wins Another Two Awards in IndieFEST Film Awards

SYDNEY, November 16, 2018 (Newswire.com) - Angelena Bonet, founder and CEO of her companies Crystal Heart Productions and Crystal Heart Records, has won another two prestigious Awards of Recognition from the IndieFEST Film Awards. One award was given for Bonet's biopic sequel documentary feature film "Angelena: Heart Of The Matter" in the Liberation/Social Justice/Protest category and Best Music Video for "Break The Chain."

"Angelena: Heart Of The Matter" ("A Time Of A Revolution") is the second documentary feature film in her trilogy series. Continuing on from where "Angelena: Change The World" (A True Story) left off, Australian-born Bonet interviews high profile women's rights leaders around the world such as President Obama's Women's Equality Advisor, Tina Tchen, and Tony award-winning playwright and activist, Eve Ensler, who are changing the world in their own right. Angelena launched her journalistic online talk show "Heart Of The Matter" in Toronto, Canada in 2014 interviewing women and girls from all around the world and from all walks of life. After being the victim of a violent crime in her homeland on the 26 of May, 2012, whereby she miraculously survived gang rape and attempted murder, her mission is to empower women by giving them a voice and shed light on issues that she believes can no longer be swept under the carpet by society.

When I heard the phenomenal news that I had won another two awards I must be honest, I had a few tears. To be recognized for my work and knowing my voice is being heard is very humbling indeed. When I was a victim of that evil crime in 2012, I vowed I would never be silenced and that I would commit my life to helping others and ease their pain. I am beyond honored and grateful to IndieFEST for these awards. I will treasure this moment forever, thank you very much!

Bonet has created three documentary films thus far which she has written, directed, edited and produced in their entirety, including co-writing the soundtracks with her late fiancé, Erick Deeby. He suddenly and unexpectedly passed away three days after they got engaged in August, 2007 and she has kept the promise she made at his bedside, to finish their special project. He had written and recorded instrumental pieces of music for Bonet and during her time of grief she wrote the lyrics and melody and brought the songs to life. Her award-winning songs include "Tragic Fairytale," "Change The World" and "On My Way." Bonet has commenced pre-production for the third installment, but is yet to publicly announce the title.
