You can watch Silence (2016) for free on Kanopy, or rent on FlixFling.

In the 17th century, two Portuguese Jesuit priests travel to Japan in an attempt to locate their mentor, who is rumored to have committed apostasy, and to propagate Catholicism.

A heavy, suffocating stillness hangs over these rain-soaked landscapes as faith collides with brutal imperial repression. This quiet spiritual struggle forces you to confront the agonizing cost of holding onto belief when silence is the only response from God.
