Amplified

Synopsis

Amplified is an intimate portrayal of Hind, a charming young Karate athlete with a hearing disability. Following a violating incident at the Karate center, Hind’s world gets distorted. The sensual narrative, accompanied by an authentic sonic experience, dives into what happens when safe spaces are shattered in the ugliest of ways. Through her eyes and ears, we sway between the tenderness and harshness of pain, the silence and the noise, and the hidden and the manifest.
