     Un Silence si Bruyant - Such a Resounding Silence 

    With this documentary Emmanuelle Beart wishes to the lift the veil on incest

    Keynote speaker: Grace Tame CEO & Founder of the Grace Tame Foundation 

    The CorriLee Foundation
    proudly presents this ground breaking insight into intrafamilial childhood sexual abuse and welcomes our good friend and ally Grace Tame to speak on this heartbreaking topic which is shrouded in silence. Thank you for joining this event to help us make our voices heard and end the silence.

    French star Emmanuelle Béart  (Manon of the SpringsMission: Impossible) revealed she is an incest survivor and made a shocking but eminently respectful documentary with co-director Anastasia Mikova on the taboo topic. A national reckoning around child sexual abuse was already underway in France after accusations were made against a prominent family when Béart set about lifting the veil of silence around the crime. Choosing both first-person and ensemble documentary voices, Béart creates a powerful platform for fellow fighters to challenge the insidious shame that arises from incest. Along with co-director Anastasia Mikova, two other women and a man, Béart points the finger at the laws and social taboos of a country where a child is sexually victimized every three minutes. Reluctant to include her own story at first, Béart powerfully remonstrates: “the silence—which is first imposed by the person who rapes you—this silence makes a terrible noise within you and takes all kinds of forms” in this stirring and personal critique.
