Synopsis

As a child, Anders was sexually abused by a childhood friend. In an attempt to let go of repressed and painful memories, he invites the boy who commited the abuse back then to talk about it.

Screenings

Every summer, Anders spent a lot of time with his family friend Peter. He was a few years older and had his own computer. Behind the closed children's room door and away from distracted adults, there was more than computer games and innocent play going on.

About a third of abuse against children is committed by other children and young people. «A Silent Story» is an exceptionally honest documentary which, with a glimmer of hope, sheds light on heavy and taboo subject matter.
