Silence -- Multi-award winning film. It is the extraordinary and moving tale of Tana Ross - “a miracle child” who survived the concentration camps. The story is told through animation - haunting black and white animation by Ruth Lingford, and joyous color animation by Tim Webb. The whole story is told from the child's point of view. Thanks to her grandmother’s resourcefulness and determination Tana was not sent to her death. But Silence does not focus primarily on the concentration camp experiences. Rather, the narrative tells mostly of what happened after the War. The 5-year-old child was sent to join relatives in Sweden where she was forbidden to ask questions about the fate of her mother or speak about her own experiences. It is a film about the strategies Tana developed for survival when prevented from speaking out about her memories and pain. Tana tells her full story for the first time in this film. She speaks about her past and the reasons for her fifty-year silence. A DVD of the film and many extras - background information on the making of the film, director's statement, animation storyboards and much more, is available from: orly@yadinproductions.com
