Silent Crime

By Harish Kumar Patel with 6.2

drama · Short Films · hindi

The short film invokes a commentary on sexual abuse, paedophilia and cybercrime, and how susceptible teenagers, in general, and young girls, in particular, are to it. The story uses young love as its premise, but things soon take a turn for the worse. A girl finds herself falling prey to the charms of a boy her own age who has befriended her over social media.

However, their love story blossoms to reveal a far disturbing reality, further drawing the viewer's attention to the stigma surrounding the victims and survivors of sexual crime. The film, thereby, reiterates the absolute need to break the silence around these heinous acts so that those who are at the receiving end of it do not feel shame and guilt in calling out their abuser.
