Silenced (2011) NTSC DVD5
 ==========================
 
Plot or synopsis:
 
The most controversial Korean film of 2011, Silenced (a.k.a. The Crucible) 
directed by Hwang Dong Hyuk (My Father) has brought widespread attention to 
a tragic real-life story of sexual abuse at a school for hearing-impaired children. 
Based on a novel inspired by the shocking case, the film is a haunting, harrowing 
expose of the heinous crimes committed and the uphill battle in court for justice. 
Gong Yoo (Finding Mr. Destiny) and Jung Yoo Mi (Oki's Movie) star as a teacher and 
a social worker who uncover the horrifying truth and fight to break the silence. 
With heartbreaking performances from child actors Baek Seung Hwan, Kim Hyun Soo, 
and Jeong In Seo, Silenced's powerful, devastating story not only sold over four 
million tickets at the Korean box office, it also had a positive impact in the real world. 
The film raised public awareness and outrage about lenient laws and court rulings on 
sexual violence against minors, leading to legislation reform and reopened investigations 
against the school.
 
Struggling single father In Ho (Gong Yoo) finally finds a teaching position at 
a school for hearing-impaired children in the foggy town of Mujin. The job was 
not easy to come by for In Ho, who is already in a tough financial situation but 
had to cough up a "donation" to the administration. It doesn't take long for 
In Ho to notice that something is amiss at the gloomy school: the teachers treat 
students with disdain, the children seem afraid and distrustful of the staff, and strange 
sounds can be heard at night. When In Ho comes across a staff brutally beating a student 
one night, he realizes that something far more terrible is happening. With the help of 
social worker Yoo Jin (Jung Yoo Mi), he gains the trust of the children and learns the 
shocking truth that students are being physically and sexually abused by the faculty. 
When In Ho and Yoo Jin try to bring the perpetrators to justice, they find themselves 
up against a corrupt and apathetic educational and legal system that has turned a blind 
eye at every turn.
