DAY 12
Winds of Silence
Directed by Radha Mehta
USA
When Ziya discovers her best friend's family is in danger, she must decide whether or not to help them escape while confronting her own past.
“You have power within yourself to be able to capture anything that moves you specifically, and that’s where it needs to start from.” Through the story of Ziya, Winds of Silence explores the intrinsic role of hope, resilience and sisterhood in combatting gender-based violence.
