Starring Chandra Wilson and Malcolm-Jamal Warner, the short film Muted sheds light on what happens in our country when you are missing and you happen to be African American. The film highlights how children of color are given just a fraction of the media exposure and law enforcement support that missing White children receive.
Emmy-nominated actress Chandra Wilson plays a mother struggling with the harsh reality of trying to get law enforcement support and media exposure when her teenager goes missing. The film is based on a fictionally story but accurately depicts the reality that countless American families face.
The Kickstarter funded film is directed by Rachel Goldberg, written and produced by Brandi Ford, and also produced by Tara Tomicevic. Earning critical acclaim, the film received HBO’s Short Film Award at this year’s American Black Film Festival.
Muted will air on HBO in February 2015.
