Mixing magic-realism and historical events "The Silence of Neto" is the first internationally acclaimed, award-winning film produced entirely in Guatemala. Filmed in the colonial city of Antigua, "The Silence of Neto" tells the politically-charged story of a young boy striving to follow his dreams while his country struggles to preserve democracy amidst CIA cold-war propaganda. Through the eyes of young Neto, we are given an authentic insider's look at the diverse people of Guatemala and the historical events that have shape their destiny. Directed by native Guatemalan Luis Argueta, "The Silence of Neto" is a film of great dramatic power and stunning visual beauty.
