Breach in the Silence is a 2012 Venezuelan drama film directed by Luis Rodríguez and Andrés Rodríguez. The film was selected as the Venezuelan entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 86th Academy Awards, but it was not nominated.

Production

The film directors, twins Luis and Andrés Rodríguez, first worked in social work with children and then began making documentaries to show the conditions of many marginalized Venezuelans. After Villa del Cine announced funding for low-budget fiction films in 2011, the brothers applied and were able to tell a similar story as a drama with Breach in the Silence.

The research and writing of the film is said to have taken six months and involved the Venezuelan Association of the Deaf. The film was in pre-production for two months, and filming only took six weeks.
