Watch The Silence online now: http://video.pbs.org/video/1889568449 THE SILENCE Saint Michael is a village of 370 residents on the southwest coast of Alaska, 200 miles south of the Arctic Circle. It is isolated and remote--there are no roads in or out--anytime of year. Christianity has had a presence in Saint Michael for over a century. Catholic missionaries came to the Alaskan wilderness to bring education, medicine and teach the word of God. Priests became trusted elders in the community, but weird things would start to happen upon their arrival in 1968 when Father George Endal, Deacon Joseph Lundowski and Brother Anton Smario arrived at the Catholic Church. For the first time, a small group of survivors will confront the very institution that devastated their village.
