Unspoken Tears: Trauma Through Words
52 min. | Subtitled
A film by Hélène Magny
"Observes the plight of children who have experienced significant traumas during their journeys. Hélène Magny offers an intimate portrait of the young kids who have to re-learn what it means to be a child again at the same time that their classmates simply have to learn how to read and write...The film is a relevant, empathetic lens towards the migration crisis worldwide."
Pat Mullen, POV Magazine
Unspoken Tears: Trauma Through Words explores the psychological scars of war and highlights the importance of understanding in successfully integrating refugee children into Quebec’s schools.  

Following a psychologist specializing in conflict-related trauma, Unspoken Tears: Trauma Through Words pays tribute to the admirable resilience and survival strategies of these “small adults,” whose spirit the bombs and camps have not completely crushed, at a time when it is vital to raise awareness in Western societies of migration-related issues and children’s rights.

Filmmaker Hélène Magny discreetly observes the children’s gradual adaptation and the work of this inspiring psychologist. She examines solutions found by various teachers, along with the resources that emerge. Like their classmates, they’re learning to read and write, but, as refugees who’ve fled war and violence in their homelands, they must also readjust to normal life. How can these children find meaning again after their very existence was once on hold? How can they integrate into school life given their individual struggles?
