Baptism of Silence

Overview

A teenage girl, Isabel, and her younger brother Joshua, have always been each other’s refuge in a small, mining town of South Africa, but Isabel loses grip of the relationship, when Joshua endures a violent initiation at an all-boys’ high school and withdraws from her. With no one to turn to, Isabel is forced to find resilience within herself and to call Joshua to reflect on who he is becoming.
