Silent Cry was founded in 2009 by a group of young students who wanted to emulate the change they would like to see in the world. Against the human suffering in all parts of East Africa, the students returned to London in summer 2009 with their globally acclaimed film documentary “Discovering the Uncovered Tragedy” in what was called the “Breaking the Silence” mission.

This led to the mobilisation of youth groups around the globe and by the time the world tour of Silent Cry had ended in January 2010, the people touched by the story of survival, determination and change had reached over 53 global cities spanning 4 continents over a course of just under a year. From coast to coast people were aware that these young people were advocating for equal human rights across ALL regions of East Africa.

In early 2011 Silent Cry was approached by many individuals to change direction of their mission but this was met with stark resistance due to the fact that Silent Cry has never been politically affiliated with any party or state leader neither was Silent Cry a company.

However, in the summer of Silent Cry team members were invited to Ethiopia to see for themselves the changes that have been made due to their relentless campaigning and awareness that they have raised. Silent Cry members accepted the offer and are now in the midst of their second documentary titled : Silent Cry – The Freedom of Peace!

Our team flew off into Nairobi Kenya earlier this year in search of a story; however a meeting by chance with a local taxi driver led them down a path to “discovering the uncovered tragedy”. The people they met inspired them to make a change and wave the flag of freedom in their names!

The people they came across at IFO refugee camp ranged from multiple burn victims to multiple rape victims as well as tortured civilians and people who fled their homes after they were torched. The film documentary is footage of evidence of the uncovered genocide happening to these people and the SILENT CRY these people are desperately holding back. Human Rights organiations have called the situation in the Ogaden region a “mini Darfur” and many have associated the word GENOCIDE with the footage we have uncovered in our film documentary.

The film has already been screened with amazing success from an audience here in the UK and across seas to the United States. Screenings have so far been done in, London, Birmingham, Oslo, Copenhagen, Aarhus, Helsinki, Stockholm, Washington DC, San Diego, Denver, Minneapolis, Toronto, South Africa, Melbourne, Sydney, Perth and also in Universities in numerous places.
