PlayCo presents 9 KINDS OF SILENCE Written and Directed by Abhishek Majumdar
A tense, haunting exploration of sound, silence, and the modern mythology of the nation-state. In a military outpost on the beach, patriotic mothers debrief a country’s sons as they return, victorious, from battle in an endless, finally ending war. But one soldier refuses to speak, and his silence threatens to undo him and his would-be confessor alike. 9 Kinds of Silence considers sound and silence as means of control, subjugation, and protest.
Featuring: Hend Ayoub as Mother Joe Joseph as Son
