News Summary

• The story is about two Portuguese Jesuit priests (played by Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver) who travel to ancient Japan to find their superior (Liam Neeson) The priests are forced to either give up their faith, or suffer, and the “silence” is the non-response from God as his followers are tortured and killed in His name.
• Throughout the film, there are temptations for Garfield's character to denounce God, but his faith is just too foundational to him.
