Unspeakable,

the Life

of Junius Wilson

A story of survival against ovrwhelming odds in a climate of extreme prejudice and injustice...

 

Innovative cinematic storytelling will take us inside  worlds that most Americans can barely imagine: the perfect storm of deafness, isolation, racial opression, and state sanctioned brutality...A story that deserves to be told,  Unspeakable, yes, unforgiveable and unforgettable.
