SUMMARY:Keep Quiet and Forgive: Documentary Screening at FilmScene
DESCRIPTION:May 19th\, 7pm\, FilmScene at the Chauncey (404 E College St\, Iowa City)\n\nFind out more and reserve tickets here. \n\nJoin DVIP/RVAP and FilmScene for a documentary screening of “Keep Quiet and Forgive”!\n\nDVIP/RVAP and JC SART (Johnson County Sexual Assault Response Team) will both have representatives at the screening\, along with resources and information on how to receive help\, volunteer\, and donate.\n\nAfter the screening there will be a discussion with Lizzie Hershberger led by Rachel Yoder\, followed by an opportunity to buy a signed copy of Lizzie’s book Behind Blue Curtains: A True Crime Memoir of an Amish Woman’s Survival\, Escape\, and Pursuit of Justice.\n\nBased on groundbreaking reporting\, Keep Quiet and Forgive follows the courageous journey of Lizzie Hershberger\, a former Amish woman who breaks her silence about sexual abuse in her community and ignites a nationwide movement of Amish survivors. Growing up in a traditional Minnesotan Swartzentruber Amish community\, Lizzie was taught to “forgive and forget.” But nearly 30 years after experiencing her own traumatic rape\, she takes the bold step to report her case to the police — challenging Amish communities everywhere to confront and address hidden abuse.\n\nAs Lizzie travels across the country\, she becomes a beacon of hope for Amish and Mennonite survivors navigating generational trauma\, deep-rooted shame\, family ties and suicide. Her mission doesn’t stop at breaking the silence; she also helps others navigate the difficult path of rebuilding their lives after being excommunicated from Amish culture. Filmed over five years in Minnesota\, Pennsylvania\, Ohio\, Florida\, Missouri\, Indiana\, and Wisconsin\, Keep Quiet and Forgive offers an eye-opening look into one of the world’s most insular communities.\n\nLizzie Hershberger is an author\, speaker\, and survivor advocate who shares her story to help others feel less alone. She is the author of Behind Blue Curtains and is featured in the PBS/Independent Lens documentary “Keep Quiet and Forgive.” Through public speaking\, writing\, and community conversations\, Lizzie brings awareness to difficult but important issues while offering hope\, honesty\, and encouragement to others on their healing journey.\n\nRachel Yoder is an assistant professor of screenwriting at the University of Iowa. She is the author of the novel Nightbitch.
