20S x Waters Edge | A Brief History of Silence Preview

Join us at Waters Edge Cinema for a work-in-progress preview of Stephen Winter's documentary centered on author Marlon James and the queer Jamaican community.

Jamaica shaped acclaimed gay novelist Marlon James but its violent homophobia also silenced him. Now, Marlon is returning to his homeland to reckon with its history and the memories he tried to leave behind.

As Marlon seeks reconciliation with a family, a church and a nation that would not accept him, his triumphant return home offers a universal story of action and introspection for evolving into a meaningful future.
