Speak
“The Truth Will Change Everything.”
Drama
Freshman high-school student Melinda has refused to speak ever since she called the cops on a popular summer party. With her old friends snubbing her for being a rat, and her parents too busy to notice her troubles, she folds into herself, trying to hide her secret: that star senior Andy raped her at the party. But Melinda does manage to find solace in her art class headed by Mr. Freeman.
VIBE
A raw, unflinching look at the aftermath of trauma. It feels isolating and heavy, but finds glimmers of hope in unexpected places. A quiet, internal struggle for survival and eventual healing.
