Keep Quiet and Forgive Documentary Screeening

Spring Grove Cinema is excited to partner with Lizzie Hersberger to show the documentary that she has been working on for so long in the place she calls home. Based on groundbreaking reporting, KEEP QUIET AND FORGIVE follows the courageous journey of Lizzie, a former Amish woman who breaks her silence about sexual abuse in her community and ignites a nationwide movement of Amish survivors. Growing up in a traditional Minnesotan Amish community, Lizzie was taught to “forgive and forget.” But nearly 30 years after experiencing her own traumatic rape, she takes the bold step to report her case to the police — challenging Amish communities everywhere to confront and address hidden abuse.

KEEP QUIET AND FORGIVE testifies to the transformative power of a survivor’s movement working towards healing and justice and of one that reverberates beyond the Amish community. You can find more about the documentary and the filmmakers here: https://www.keepquietandforgive.com/

Showtimes are Friday March 20th at 7pm, Saturday at 4pm and Sunday at 1pm.
