Sound of Tears
is a powerful film that will have a strong impact on the lives of
women world-wide. It will shine a strong and powerful spotlight on the
subject of honor crimes, a despicable practice whereby family members
who feel their honor has been besmirched punish those, usually women,
who have dared to do things that range from marrying the wrong man to
refusing to wear traditional garb. The punishment is often murder.
The story, written by actress and director Dorothy A. Atabong is powerful and moving and is one no viewer will ever forget. This film will be shown at film festivals, on television and will be available in libraries and schools, hopefully all around the world. Women everywhere will gain knowledge of this practice, will engage in dialogue and will hopefully act to put a stop to these crimes. Sound of Tears requires funds for its post production processes. Women can open the eyes of the world with their donations to this ground breaking film. |
Sad that this film and other stories like it even have to exist. Thank you for bringing this film to our attention.
