ABOUT SILENT SCREAMS DRAMA FEATURE FILM
LOGLINE
Maya, silenced by childhood abuse, battles self-destruction and toxic relationships. In her quest for liberation, she embarks on a transformative travel journey, discovering healing, empowerment, and the courage to reclaim her voice.
THE STORY
In the riveting and heart-wrenching narrative of ”Silent Screams,” we delve into the tumultuous life of Maya, a young child of immigrant parents who becomes a victim of unspeakable abuse from the tender age of 11. Trapped in a foreign land,
her family powerless, and resources scarce, Maya’s traumatic experiences go unnoticed by authorities, with her innocence stolen and silenced by a manipulative perpetrator.
As she matures into adolescence and adulthood, Maya endures further abuse, including a harrowing hospitalization after being raped for not succumbing to a man’s demands. Blaming herself and gripped by low self-esteem, Maya descends into a perilous cycle of alcohol and drug abuse, seeking solace in the momentary euphoria that ecstasy provides.
Her life spirals into a dangerous realm of drug dealing, overseas smuggling, and reckless promiscuity, culminating in a horrifying incident of drug rape leading to a traumatic abortion. Trapped in toxic relationships, Maya’s self-worth crumbles, accentuated by manipulative behaviors and emotional torment. A significant event, lending her credit card to her boyfriend, leaves her in debt and desperate.
Maya’s suicide attempt becomes a pivotal moment, leading her to embark on a journey of self-discovery through travel. From monasteries in Nepal to the Philippines’ turquoise waters, each destination offers opportunities for Maya to rebuild trust and regain self-confidence. ”Silent Screams” delves into resilience and survival, addressing power dynamics, immigrant struggles, and the need for justice and support. Maya’s story serves as an empowering testament to survivors’ strength, providing hope and understanding to those facing similar challenges.
Director's Statement
In crafting ”Silent Screams,” our vision was to shed light on the often overlooked struggles of survivors of childhood abuse, while exploring themes of resilience, healing, and the power of self-discovery. As the director, this story resonates deeply with me, drawing from personal experiences and a commitment to amplifying voices that have long been silenced.
Through Maya’s journey, we aim to ignite conversations about the lasting impact of trauma, the strength found in vulnerability, and the urgent need for support and justice for survivors. Bringing Maya’s story to life is not just a passion project; it’s a moral imperative to inspire empathy, understanding, and action in our audience.
