La Voz de Los Silenciados -Trailer

LA VOZ DE LOS SILENCIADOS is radically different film-making. A 90 minute silent film that tells the story of modern-day slavery, using non-actors, Brechtian edits, a brutal subway landscape, and the isolation of deafness. Along the way in this manic plot there is also a magic penguin. Inspired by a real New York story, the film follows Olga, a hearing impaired teenager from Central America. Lured to New York City under the false promise of attending a Christian sign language school, she finds herself a slave to an international criminal syndicate. Forced to sell 'I am deaf' trinkets on the subway, Olga is trapped inside a nightmare that will not end- and we, the audience, are trapped with her.
