These scandals only came to light when the victims were in their fifties and older, provoking shock and outrage in the media and the public. Why be silent about the most serious matters? Doesn’t silence perpetuate suffering? From the 1950s to the 1980s, Catholic priests sexually abused many young boys in the francophone towns of New Brunswick. Silenced for too long, their courageous decision to finally name their perpetrators brings with it hope for justice and healing.Ĭo-produced by Ça Tourne Productions (Maryse Chapdelaine) and the NFB’s Canadian Francophonie Studio in Moncton (Christine Aubé), in collaboration with Radio-CanadaĪwards: La Vague Léonard-Forest Award for Best Acadian Medium-length or Feature Film, FICFA 2020 Award for Best French-Canadian film, Rendez-vous Québec Cinéma 2021 The heartbreaking testimonials of men like Jean-Paul, Victor and Lowell vividly highlight how the ordeal of abuse destroys lives. This time, flanked by a seasoned team that included cinematographer Philippe Lavalette and sound designer Sylvain Bellemare (whose work on Denis Villeneuve’s Arrival won him an Oscar), the filmmaker went to meet the victims.

Co-produced by Ça Tourne Productions and the NFB in association with Radio-Canada, Le silence is an urgent call-out to the humanity in each of us.īlanchar confronts silence with truth to deliver a film that’s shattering, personal and necessary. With pedophilia scandals making the news on a regular basis, the film underscores the unimaginable devastation left wherever such horrors may unfold, be it in Acadia, Quebec or elsewhere.
