Keep Quiet
Documentary Short | 28 min | 2023 | HD
I Can't Keep Quiet is an intimate portrait of one woman’s quest for healing that reverberated around the globe through her song “Quiet,” an anthem for the women’s movement. Five years later, we take a deeper look into the song's impact on MILCK's journey of reclamation: reclaiming trust in herself, her sense of belonging, and her sisterhood with "Quiet's" co-writer, AG. As we follow MILCK’s path of activism and artistry, we get a window into how she's awakened by the stillness of quarantine and the reckoning of our country’s racial justice movement. Her acknowledgement and accountability for her blind spots provides her and AG a chance for healing as they celebrate that it’s never too late to reclaim our voices.

Our partnership has deepened to include the collaboration of P&G Studios—the film & content investment arm of P&G— in our release and we are proud that Kimberly Doebereiner has joined the I Can't Keep Quiet production team as an Executive Producer.
