(Don’t) Breathe a Word

Four people from North and South Tyrol courageously speak about their sexual abuse. While Austrian ski star Nicola Werdenigg’s abuse revelations triggered an avalanche back in 2017, others are breaking their silence in public for the first time. The documentary shows that abuse happens everywhere – in the sporting world, at church, at home. With great care, the director follows these four brave individuals as they describe the traumatising events, shame and speechlessness they have experienced, at the same time showcasing the resilience and dignity with which they have reclaimed their lives after the abuse.
