BREAKING SILENCE traces the evolving relationship between Walker, a deaf father, and his hearing daughter, Leslie, and their experiences in the criminal justice system. Leslie has just completed her parole in Houston, TX, while Walker serves as a chaplain in Texas’ Estelle Prison, counseling deaf men about their ongoing struggles within the prison system. Walker and Leslie share how imprisonment and re-entry have reshaped their relationship and created new pathways toward advocacy.
