Today, we\u2019re watching a video essay about the cultural importance of the 2011 South Korean film Silenced.&lt;\/em&gt;\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Based on a real scandal that took place at the Gwangju Inhwa School for the hearing impaired in the early 2000s, <em><strong>Silenced<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>(2011) is a very tough-to-watch but necessary film. Directed by <strong>Hwang Dong-hyuk<\/strong>, the film follows Kang In-ho (<strong>Gong Yoo<\/strong>), a new teacher at Gwangju Inhwa who discovers that faculty members are repeatedly abusing their deaf students.<\/p>\n<p>The film\u2019s subject matter is extremely heavy, depicting both the crimes and the court proceedings that followed. Upon its release, the film sparked public outrage which eventually resulted in a reopening of the investigations into the incidents. There was enough pressure from audience members to push legislative reform all the way to the National Assembly of South Korea, where <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/SB10001424052970203554104577003300408901364\">a revised bill<\/a> (named after the film no less) was passed to abolish the statute of limitations for sex crimes against minors and disabled people.<\/p>\n<p><em>Silenced\u00a0<\/em>only received a limited theatrical run in North America, and is largely unknown to Western audiences despite its undisputed cultural impact in its home country. The video essay below does an invaluable job introducing the film to those unaware of the Gwangju Inhwa School incident and explaining why the horrors it depicts are worth sitting with and contemplating. Rotten, systemic scandals are unfortunately commonplace. So regardless of <em>Silenced<\/em>\u2018s unnerving specificity, the film is a powerful reminder of our unfair bias towards authority figures and the danger of failing to act.<\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The video essay below discusses and shows dramatizations of child abuse. <\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you or someone you know may be the victim of child abuse, please contact the Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-4-A-Child (1-800-422-4453) or contact their <\/span><\/i><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/childhelphotline.org\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">live chat services<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Watch_%E2%80%9CThe_Film_That_Changed_South_Korea%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>Watch \u201cThe Film That Changed South Korea\u201d:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Film That Changed South Korea | Video Essay\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WDv3KEt6LWQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_made_this\"><\/span>Who made this?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"block-839c096a-2881-4e76-aef1-4e01b79aa34f\" data-inc=\"2\">This video on the cultural importance of the 2011 South Korean film <em>Silenced <\/em>by <strong>Accented Cinema<\/strong>, a Canadian-based YouTube video essay <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> with a focus on foreign cinema.
