Silent Verdict

"A nation scarred, a verdict still pending."

Silent Verdict is a hard-hitting human rights documentary that exposes the injustice surrounding rape cases in Bangladesh. Through powerful re-enactments and survivors’ own testimonies, it revisits five infamous cases that shook the nation yet remain unresolved. Legal experts and doctors reveal the deep loopholes in law and medicine that fail victims, while data and research underscore the scale of the crisis. Balancing stark revelations with a vision for change, Silent Verdict is both an unflinching confrontation of truth and a call to action for justice.

For Sama

A love letter from a young mother to her daughter, the film tells the story of Waad al-Kateab’s life through five years of the uprising in Aleppo, Syria as she falls in love, gets married and gives birth to Sama, all while cataclysmic conflict rises around her. Her camera captures incredible stories of loss, laughter and survival as Waad wrestles with an impossible choice– whether or not to flee the city to protect her daughter’s life, when leaving means abandoning the struggle for freedom for which she has already sacrificed so much.
