The Silence of Melody: a story of hope with Jennifer Aniston and Phoebe-Rae Taylor

With The Silence of Melody, Disney explores the theme of inclusion in a touchingcomedy-drama adapted from Sharon M. Draper's best-selling novel. Directed by Amber Sealey(No Man of God), the film tells the story of Melodie Brooks, a bright and intelligent young girl with cerebral palsy. Unlike her peers, Melodie can't speak or move freely. But thanks to the intervention of an educator, her hidden potential is finally revealed, enabling her to show that her ideas are far more powerful than the limitations imposed by her disability.

Boasting a talented cast, including Phoebe-Rae Taylor in the lead role and Jennifer Aniston as Melodie's inner voice in the original version, the film also relies on rigorous production and specialist inclusion consultants.

Le Silence de Mélodie will appeal to all those who appreciate inspiring stories and family dramas imbued with humanity. Adapted from a highly acclaimed novel, this film should appeal to viewers sensitive to topical themes such as diversity,inclusive education and recognition of hidden talents. It could also appeal to fans of works such as Wonder or Intouchables, which showcase atypical characters overcoming extraordinary challenges.
