A young boy (Donato) witnesses a traumatic event and becomes unable to talk in this chilling made-for-cable movie, which is based on a true story. The boy's sudden inability to talk was caused by his finding a murdered boy, and his parents are at a loss as to how they can help him and how he might recover his voice. Unfortunately, their attempts to help him learn to talk again are unsuccessful, as there is more to the story behind the loss of his voice than they know. Donato's performance here is one of the finest in recent years by a child, and the rest of the cast is every bit as good in this eerie drama. [More]
