About the film

What do you do when your husband of two decades and the father of your three children is suddenly revealed to have a shameful and disturbing secret? Accidentally Brave is Maddie Corman’s courageous, unflinchingly honest story of what happens when a familiar world falls apart. Based upon her one-woman show of the same name, and with raw vulnerability and unexpected humor, Maddie delivers a moving tale of perseverance and hope as the unthinkable tests her marriage, family, and values. Simultaneously a confession, a share, and an examination of what it means to navigate a world without certainty, Maddie goes beyond the salacious headlines to recount a story of growth and healing which could easily have destroyed her, revealing how, despite the odds, she and her husband have managed to stay together.
