A photograph discovered after her grandmother’s death sends a filmmaker on a journey to unravel her family’s deepest secrets. What she uncovers is a web of silence spanning three generations—marked by trauma, patriarchal control, and the pain of truths left unspoken.

How to Say Silence is an unflinching and profoundly moving documentary that traces stories of survival, forced choices, and resilience, culminating in one woman’s decision to finally break the cycle of silence.
