In times when it feels easier to turn aside, I wanted to share a story of someone who never stopped resisting.
A woman who, after a hundred years, has only one wish left:
That we don’t look away.
In the film, she sits in her wheelchair at the edge of a cliff, looking out at the sea one last time.
Before My Silence
A film about memory, conviction, and what it means to keep standing until you can’t.
Her voice is in German, because that is where it began.
Subtitled in English, so no one has to look away.
