UNHEARD Short Film
UNHEARD is a dramatic social justice themed short film about a mother and son at odds when faced with hard times, a same sex couple battling over the difficulty of open expression and a long standing beacon of an aging community who is displaced in the name of municipal modernization. Why aren't their points of view being heard?
We can easily hear the sounds of our voices but are we really listening? We all share the same burning desire to be acknowledged. No matter our differences, we all have the same inherent need to be heard.
