Independent Lens

Silent Beauty

By Jasmín Mara López. A co-production of Corazón Oscuro Productions, LLC, the Independent Television Service (ITVS) and Black Public Media (BPM), in association with Latino Public Broadcasting (LPB).

In this autobiographical exploration of survivorship, New Orleans journalist and filmmaker Jasmín Mara López unabashedly shares her process of healing from childhood sexual abuse. After Jasmín discloses to her family she’d been abused by her grandfather, she liberates others to come forward in a story of confronting a culture of silence over generational trauma.
