‘Hears My Voice’ is based on a true story of victory over abuse. The film tackles a very difficult subject with nuance and delicacy. It’s a retrospective look into a mother/daughter relationship showing how love and forgiveness really can heal. Victoria Young and her mother, Heddie, bravely open up about the story behind the trial, their final years of abuse, and the reason they are able to talk about it. Inspired by the director’s true story, it’s a retrospective glimpse into mental illness and child abuse and how the two are closely tied.
