Some Deals Are Never Spoken, Only Enforced.

In Lakewood Township, the schools are still full, but their future has already been sold. Silent Hand, a gripping new short film, dives deep into the hidden forces behind gentrification, political corruption, and the silent takeover of a community.

The Story Behind Silent Hand

When Congressman Malik, a former street hustler turned politician, is confronted with the truth about Lakewood High and Clark Elementary being auctioned off, he must decide: fight back or stay silent? As private interests drain public resources and the community is left powerless, Malik realizes the takeover wasn’t just political—it was an inside job.
