WOW, just WOW! I just finished watching this, and I am frustrated and in tears. I knew what the Drama was about, but actually watching it was an experience I didn’t expect to have. Silenced is about a teacher hired at a school for deaf children. First frustration was the school expected payment for hiring him. First of many signs of corruption and cover up. Then, after he started working there, that’s when he started witnessing abuse that went far beyond the school. The acting was excellent, both by the adults, but especially the children. If you’re not willing to witness child sexual and physical abuse, do not watch this movie. I mentioned that I was frustrated in the beginning of this review. It is because justice was not served because of all the corruption and cover up. Sorry to say this was based on a true story from the not too distant past. It is true in real life that justice wasn’t served. BUT, this movie did something good. That good was it shed light on the problems of the justice system with child sexual and physical abuse in the country, so much so, that laws were enacted to protect children experiencing this. The unfortunate thing is, these laws were passed after this happened, so the abusive people at the school got light sentences, and some went back to teaching. You will not be able to take your eyes off the screen. Through all the anger, frustration and tears I experienced, I would highly recommend this movie.
