Le silence

About This Movie

Le silence is a heavy, contemplative documentary that really digs into a dark chapter in New Brunswick's history. It captures the stories of those young boys turned men, recounting their experiences with a raw honesty that's hard to shake off. The pacing feels deliberate, drawing you into the weight of their past as it unfolds. There’s a somber, almost haunting atmosphere throughout, with the absence of flashy effects—it's all about the voices and the grim realities they reflect. What struck me most is how it challenges the viewer to reckon with the silence that followed these abuses for decades. It's not just about the scandal; it’s a profound exploration of trauma, faith, and the long shadow of complicity.
