Breaking the Silence is a story about a very young Chinese boy dealing with school bullies bugging him, teasing him, calling him dummy, and, yes, even beating up on him just because he is disabled. This still happens in our American schools with our disabled students. We just don’t talk about it enough; maybe this movie going mainstream might start us talking about disabled student abuse again.
