Breaking Silence: The Story of the Sisters at Desales Heights
A rare and intimate insight into a way of life that may soon be gone
forever, this film raises important questions about the changing role of
women in society and what happens to those whose roles are no longer
valued. This compelling documentary reveals life behind the cloistered
walls of a 150-year-old monastery, as it follows the twelve elderly nuns
preparing to face the outside world for the first time in their adult
lives. BREAKING SILENCE: THE SISTERS AT DESALES HEIGHTS examines
the effects on the members of this unusual community as they respond
to pressures from the unfamiliar world around them.
