Refugees need a superhero

Silent Man seeks to raise awareness around the global asylum seeker issue in an entertaining way. We are subjected to so much negative news about immigration and refugees on a daily basis, that it becomes very easy to just tune out. Viewers may be less inclined to tune out while watching an edge-of-your-seat superhero film. Silent Man is that film.

A masked crusader has the city on high alert. The mute but ruthless Silent Man communicates using his signature yellow calling cards and is working his way through a list of crooked officials. When he is identified as an escaped asylum seeker on a mission to find his missing daughter, the government scrambles to spin the story into a terrorist plot and divert attention from their immigration detention program. The controversial ‘New Life’ program has succeeded at getting children out of detention but The Silent Man is convinced there is more to it than meets the eye. He is also a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic with delusion disorder and it soon becomes apparent that his daughter and the government conspiracy he is trying to expose may all be a figment of his imagination.
