Such a Resounding Silence

(Un Silence si Bruyant)

Emmanuelle Béart’s documentary lifts the veil on incest.

The CorriLee Foundation proudly presents this ground breaking documentary into incest and gratefully welcomes our allies — Grace Tame, Anne Lambert, Melissa Holmes & Fay Jackson to speak on this heartbreaking topic. Thank you for joining us at this event to help us put an end to the pervasive nature of incest and the unjust silence that comes with it.

French star Emmanuelle Béart (Manon of the Springs; Mission: Impossible) revealed she is an incest survivor and made a shocking but eminently respectful documentary with co-director Anastasia Mikova on the taboo topic. A national reckoning around child sexual abuse was already underway in France after accusations were made against a prominent family when Béart set about lifting the veil of silence around the crime. Choosing both first-person and ensemble documentary voices, Béart creates a powerful platform for fellow fighters to challenge the insidious shame that arises from incest. Along with co-director Anastasia Mikova, two other women and a man, Béart points the finger at the laws and social taboos of a country where a child is sexually victimized every three minutes. Reluctant to include her own story at first, Béart powerfully remonstrates: “the silence — which is first imposed by the person who rapes you — this silence makes a terrible noise within you and takes all kinds of forms” in this stirring and personal critique.

It is our intention to create an evening that is safe and well considered for all who attend. There will be trained professionals in the room should you find the content confronting or need to take a break at any time.
