On May 30, 2017, in Toronto, Joze Piranian takes the stage at Speaker Slam, an inspirational speaking competition, where he speaks about the pain caused by his stuttering and being different for the first time in his life. Instantly, he wins over the hearts of the judges and the crowd. As the audience rise from their seats to congratulate him with a standing ovation, he doesn’t feel ashamed of his stutter, which has never happened before. Astonished by the positive response, he’s now convinced that speaking on stage and becoming a professional speaker is what will allow him to make peace with his stutter. 
Meanwhile, across the ocean, in Lebanon, both his mother Corinne, father Alexis & sister Natalie, learn about Jose’s struggle with anxiety and depression for the first time while watching the video of his very first speech that he just shared on social media. While Joze’s speaking career takes off and he shares his story with thousands of people all over the world, his stutter remains a real taboo within the Piranian family. But this is about to change now that Joze is finally ready to have these conversations he never dared to have before and fully open up to the most important people in his life.

Words Left Unspoken

After avoiding speaking at all cost for over two decades, Joze Piranian, who has a severe stutter, decides to confront his fears, by travelling back to his home country, Lebanon, and holding the conversations he never dared to have before with his family. He hopes to finally make peace with his stutter and become the man he’s always wanted himself to be.
