David Booz, Brookewood Theology Chair, and Andrea Francois, Lower School + 6 Director, discuss with Cherie Walsh their readings of Shusaku Endo's novel Silence and Martin Scorsese's 2017 film adaptation of the novel.

The novel and the film also highlight the problem of hubris as Rodrigues sets himself up in place of Christ.
