Silent Voices

[fionamcgee-67329 · 10/10 · 10 February 2022]

When grieving Grandmother Donna Hayes and Kendall got together, this happened.

"Silent Voices"

Donna's seventeen year old grandson was on his knees when the police decided to shoot him.

Respect to this strong grandmother for achieving what she set out to do and give her boy his voice back, so he gets the chance to tell us his story of what happened that day from his perspective.

Through their amazing team work, Donna and Kendall have given 8 other police victims a voice.

Press play!

A silence broken

[chroustchova · 10 February 2022]

This short but powerful film employs a succession of speakers to address a tragic event, its circumstances and its consequences. Passionate and compassionate, this moving film leaves the viewer with questions that need to be answered as well as a new understanding of the what can lie behind a brief news story.

Hunger for justice

[veronicafrance · 10/10 · 11 February 2022]

By some kind of magic, this short, powerful film was made during lockdown by a team of professionals and amateurs. It's a series of dramatically lit monologues giving voices to people killed by police, to tell their own stories. These actors vividly convey the grief and yearning for justice of the bereaved. What happened to these victims wasn't right and justice has still not been done.

No longer silent

[ellisroger · 10/10 · 10 February 2022]

An immensely powerful film in which previously silent voices tell their tales of injustice with unmistakeable truth. The format focusses the viewers attention on the characters words, experiences, lives.
