THE SILENCE OF THE MOLE

US PREMIERE In the 1970s, under the thumb of unprecedented repression, journalist Elias Barahona infiltrated the heart of the Guatemalan government. Becoming known only as “The Mole,” his work uncovering the regime’s transgressions revealed brazen acts of political violence and helped lift the wall of silence that had fallen over the nation. In this chilling investigation, director Anais Taracena weaves an intimate tale of the daring work of one of her country’s most fearless changemakers. – Brandon Harrison
