Synopsis

The CorriLee Foundation and The No Laughing Matter Podcast Series proudly present this groundbreaking film and conversation into intrafamilial childhood sexual abuse. 

We welcome our allies/panelists to speak on this taboo topic, which is all too often shrouded in silence, shame & stigma. 

  • Tracy Adams (CEO Kids Helpline) 
  • Grace Tame (Activist, Advocate, Founder of the Grace Tame Foundation, & Australian of the Year 2021)
  • Tanya Lee OAM (Creator & Producer of No Laughing Matter
  • Karen Righton (Activist, No Laughing Matter podcast contributor)
  • Louise Lamont (CEO of Phoenix)
  • Nadia Mitsopolous as the Panel Facilitator

Such a Resounding Silence (Un Silence) is a powerful and inspiring French film with actor/producer Emmanuelle Béart that confronts the taboo subject of incest showcasing the incredible resilience & courage of survivors. Through intimate interviews, symbolic animation, captivating photography, and evocative music, the film sensitively portrays their moving stories, offering hope, empowerment and healing.

By addressing this hidden reality, this film breaks down barriers and encourages open conversations about the lifelong trauma caused by silence, denial, shame, guilt, and betrayal. It seeks to engage a broad audience—those willing to listen, confront this pervasive issue, and support survivors on their journey toward healing.

This film not only exposes the prevalence of incest but also aims to reduce its occurrence and minimize its harm, offering hope for a better future for those impacted.
