　　Runtime: 90 min　　A story of a young boy who becomes an elective mute after witnessing what he believes to be the killing by his older brother of a teenage boy. The young boy's brother then tells him not to say anything because of the trouble it would cause in the family... so he doesn't say anything again. The problem is that the young boy so enjoys his acceptance by others of his mutism that it brings his family, a loving and caring farm family, to the brink of financial ruin in medical and psychological costs to cure him. Based on a true story, this is the intelligent telling of a family in crisis, and the work of doctors in dealing with this mental illness.　　The television film was adapted to the reality of the human being and was crafted in the light of the complex and delicate psychological problems of children. The story owner Stephen suddenly stopped talking and Father Jim and Mother Lydia were very upset. In order to find out why his son did not speak, his parents spent a lot of money asking a psychologist to treat him, and after a long period of patient communication finally revealed Stephen ' s secret. Turning out that he had witnessed the killing of his brother and that the brother of the young murderer had warned him that he could not speak out, otherwise it would be detrimental to his family, so Steven chose nothing. Directed by Bruce Pittman, he's got a keen sense of how a close family responds to a crisis《Mankind》The audience should also appreciate the film。
