What people are saying
‘The Quietest Year is above all a wake-up call, a human film attentive to the issues of its time. By focusing on a subject that tends to be minimized, the filmmaker manages to highlight a host of current societal issues among the most burning. Skillfully executed and documented, brilliantly edited, alarming but never moralizing, Karen Akins’ film is a successful plea for the regulation of noise nuisances, the harmful effects of which are undeniable on health‘
