Wicked Silence Trailer – Video




Wicked Silence Trailer
Produced and Directed by Sana Haq and Jessica Pic for the Documentary Film Program at Wake Forest University. Elaine, Ann, and Willis are three out of approximately 8000 victims of forced sterilizations sanctioned by the Eugenics Board of North Carolina from the 1920s to the 1970s. Falsely accused of feeble-mindedness, promiscuity and being a burden on society they were sterilized without their knowledge. All three of them were under the age of 14. For years now they have been fighting for justice and reparations for the wrong that was done to them. Behind them stands a journalist and an advocate for their rights, John Railey, who has helped spread the word about this atrocity through his columns and consistent campaigning for compensation. Wicked Silence is a story of the victims suffering, but it is also a story of hope and resilience. http://www.wickedsilencefilm.com httpsFrom:WakeDFPViews:1 1ratingsTime:00:52More inFilm Animation
