SUMMARY:River Silence
DESCRIPTION:VIRTUAL SCREENING\nRogério Soares\n2019 | 90 min\nA poetic jo
 urney alongside four women\, River Silence is witness to the human and e
 nvironmental cost of a large-scale development in Brazil’s Amazon basin.
 \n\nThrough the stories of Francinette\, Tamakwera\, Karliane and Raimunda
 \, director Rogerio Soares demonstrates the incredible resilience of four 
 women fighting oppression— the Belo Monte\, a large-scale hydroelectric 
 dam development planned with little regard for human needs. Facing homeles
 sness\, unemployment\, crime-ridden neighbourhoods and the loss of their I
 ndigenous ways of life\, the women refuse to be victimized. All of their l
 ove and energy is devoted to their children and grandchildren\, to hoping 
 they will have a better future.\n\nA modern-day David vs. Goliath story wh
 ose lyrical river scenes contrast with the bleakness of city life\, River
  Silence is a stark reminder of the powerful instinct for human connectio
 n and survival\, even when defeat would seem the inevitable outcome.\n\nTh
 e screening will be immediately followed by a Q&amp\;A with Rogério Soare
 s (director) on Facebook Live.\n\nTo register to this virtual screening\,
