Silent Beauty
When director Jasmin Mara L贸pez sees a photo of her niece with her grandfather, she is flooded by painful memories of her own childhood sexual abuse at his hands鈥攁nd the following 24 years of her silence. In this cinematically striking and poetic documentary, L贸pez bravely films her story as a willful act to accept difficult truths while finding beauty in the process of healing. As she defies the cultural silence that pervades her family and confronts her abusive grandfather, who is a Baptist minister, a world of generational abuse unfolds, and she quickly discovers she is not alone. Through archival family footage and intimate moments with her family, L贸pez has created a film about confronting painful truths and the beauty one can feel when they reach the other side of grief.
