What is THE SILENT SCREAM all about?
This is a story about a South African prostitute during the apartheid era and beyond.
Naive and powerless, she falls prey to the dark underworld of flesh peddling in 1985 when trying to support her two children. This narrative traces her working the local circuit and neighboring countries amid the tremendous upheavals when the ANC government takes over white rule. She experiences family life, disappointment, heartbreak and illness; getting trapped into drug addiction, slavery and severe depression. Only in 1998 does she find new hope, when the opportunity to travel abroad falls into her lap.
The drama of true stories told by many people are projected onto her to experience.
Fiction based solidly on fact.
