BREAKING SILENCE
Even though sexual assault and abuse are widespread in many Muslim communities throughout America, conversations about it are rare-and the pressure for victims and their families to "keep it a secret" helps perpetuate abuse. BREAKING SILENCE takes a radical and humanizing approach to the emotional scars of sexual assault, giving women the space to share their voices without shame.
#metoo has been sweeping through the U.S. since October, but Brazilian women already built their own movement two years ago with the
#myfirstharassment campaign.
FACES OF HARASSMENT was shot in a mobile van parked in neighborhoods across Brazil where women spoke to the camera directly with no interviewer present. An experiment in storytelling about trauma, the film offers an unflinching look at sexual harassment and assault and at the radical possibilities for healing that can happen when women are free to speak completely for themselves.
