EXCLUSIVE: Trailer has dropped for Unsilenced, the latest Israeli drama picked up by Fauda and Shtisel producer Yes Studios.
Inspired by the novel The Confidante by Odelia Karmon, Unsilenced is a six-part series about sexual violence set in the pre-#MeToo era and shows the lengths to which an influential perpetrator, in this case a President – and his allies – will go to silence victims, protect themselves and keep their crimes out of the public eye, and how women bound by experience can come together to seek justice.
In Unsilenced, a recently elected President continually forces himself upon a new member of his team – a bright and ambitious young woman from a humble background. Desperate to keep her job, she asks the President’s chief of staff for help, but he shows his complicity with the situation by first looking the other way and then, as things escalate, by engineering a brutal campaign to discredit her and keep her quiet.
