 tation.\n\nRenée Blanchar | 2020 | 106 min \n\nWhy be silent about the 
 most serious matters? Doesn’t silence perpetuate suffering? From the 195
 0s to the 1980s\, Catholic priests sexually abused many young boys in the 
 francophone towns of New Brunswick. These scandals only came to light when
  the victims were in their fifties\, provoking shock and outrage in the me
 dia and the public. Why did the affected communities keep silent so long\,
  preferring secrecy to justice and truth? Profiting from their positions o
 f influence to impose a “pious silence” on their parishioners\, author
 ity figures built an abusive system that tells us as much about the type o
 f oppression specific to the Acadian population as it does about the blank
 et denials issued by the Catholic Church. Called to confront the power of 
 this collective silence\, veteran filmmaker Renée Blanchar meets with sur
 vivors in an attempt to untangle the deeply rooted reasons for this secrec
 y. With The Silence\, she takes us as close as she can to the humanity of 
 these broken men\, revealing the forces that\, today as in the past\, have
  the power to unite or divide Acadian communities.\n\nTo purchase tickets:
