❇️ Silenced (2011, Korean with Eng Sub.)
dir. Hwang Dong-hyuk (黃東赫)
Kang In-ho, an art teacher from Seoul, takes up a position at a school for hearing-impaired children in the foggy, isolated city of Mujin. Upon arrival, he finds the children distant, cold, and living under a suffocating shadow. Only when In-ho persistently offers genuine care and warmth do the children begin to open their hearts—revealing a dark, horrific secret of systemic physical and sexual abuse they have long suffered in silence at the hands of their own teachers and administrators.
Through this screening, we invite everyone to look beyond the tragedy itself. From a Crip perspective, Silenced exposes how institutional power, ableism, and societal complicity work together to silence disabled bodies and minds. How do we hold space for collective trauma? How do we construct everyday infrastructures of trust, care, and safety in a world that so often turns away?
