Silenced (South Korea, 2011)

Kang In-Ho is a newly appointed teacher at a school for the hearing-impaired in Mujin city. While teaching the deaf students, In-Ho feels something strange about the kids distant appearances. Soon, he uncover unfathomable actions committed by the school's faculty against the students.

Based on a horrific true story, Silenced deals with hard themes such as child rape and abuse. Few times have there been such a disturbing portrayal about the molestation of young kids, and it's just as horribly sad as it sounds. Not exactly a sunshine story, and the happy moments can be counted on the fingers of one hand, but it's an honest and tragic story that sheds light on an unspeakable crime.

Genre: Drama
