When I heard about what was happening to young theater students in Belgium, I felt that the time had come to talk about it, since I myself was morally harassed a few years ago in Brazil. This subject touches my heart and even as a victim in adulthood, the scars are visible and my person changed.These women, of whom I speak, are barely twenty years old. Their life paths have just begun and they are already facing all kinds of pressure and depreciation. We must act, and quickly, so that this silence, which surrounds all forms of harassment and which terrorizes these victims, turns into a cry of denunciation.This unhealthy "trend" is very common in the performing arts teaching community in Belgium and this film is an echo of it, a voice for those who remain in silence. The intention is to show the damage that moral harassment can do. The need to make it recognizable, identifiable. Simply to make people talk about it.What I would like to share is the result of our experiences: broken self-esteem, fear of going to work, blocked throat, pressure at every step, and many problems in personal relationships. <img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/eventive-static/f78d33b5b85923b0a07caeba45d6b7c9.jpg" width="197"> Karanja is a Kenyan filmmaker born and raised in Nairobi and is inspired by the beauty and authenticity of African storytelling.
