MCT:May 13, 2008
Ledic was a small Czech mining village which the Nazis invaded. "Silent Village" is a tribute to the people of Ledic. Half documentary, half re-enactment, "Silent Village" takes the events from Ledic and shows what would happen if the same happened in the small Welsh mining village of Cwmgiedd.
The film shows life before and during the Nazi take over. At first we just see everyday life such as, the men at work mining, the women shopping and the children at school. But once the Nazis arrive everything changes. A car with a loud speaker on top drives round the village shouting out the orders, "Achtung, Achtung!" , and the consequences of anybody who will not obey these orders.
We soon see a group of miners plotting against this new regime only to be caught and shot. A second attempt is successful, but again the villagers responsible are dealt with. Eventually the Nazis burn down the village and decide the fate of the people.
A short put powerful film and a reminder of the horrors of war.
