Impactful film

Beyond Silence is an impactful film that deals with the importance of breaking the silence surrounding sexual violence.

In this short film, deaf PhD candidate Eva seeks support from Dean Sandrine to report sexual abuse by her professor. Eva is advised against taking action, with Sandrine warning that it would be her word against his - a battle she is unlikely to win. As their conversation unfolds, Eva begins to suspect that Sandrine may have her own reasons for discouraging her.
