SUMMARY:River Silence
DESCRIPTION:Rogério Soares\n2019 | 90 min\nA poetic journey alongside fou
 r women\, River Silence is witness to the human and environmental cost o
 f a large-scale development in Brazil’s Amazon basin.\n\nThrough the sto
 ries of Francinette\, Tamakwera\, Karliane and Raimunda\, director Rogerio
  Soares demonstrates the incredible resilience of four women fighting oppr
 ession— the Belo Monte\, a large-scale hydroelectric dam development pla
 nned with little regard for human needs. Facing homelessness\, unemploymen
 t\, crime-ridden neighbourhoods and the loss of their Indigenous ways of l
 ife\, the women refuse to be victimized. All of their love and energy is d
 evoted to their children and grandchildren\, to hoping they will have a be
 tter future.\n\nA modern-day David vs. Goliath story whose lyrical river s
 cenes contrast with the bleakness of city life\, River Silence is a star
 k reminder of the powerful instinct for human connection and survival\, ev
 en when defeat would seem the inevitable outcome.\n\nPresented at the JAYU
  Human Rights Film Festival.\n\nA special Skype presentation with filmmake
 r Rogério Soares will follow the film.
