The Silent Child is a British sign-languaged short film written by and starring Rachel Shenton and directed by Chris Overton, and released in 2017 by Slick Films. It tells the story of Libby, a profoundly deaf four-year-old girl, who lives a silent life until a social worker, played by Shenton, teaches her how to communicate through sign language. The film won the Live Action Short Film category at the 90th Academy Awards.

The film was based on Shenton's own experiences as the child of a parent who became deaf. The film features profoundly deaf six-year-old first-time actor Maisie Sly as the titular child. British Sign Language (BSL) is used in the film.

Rotten Tomatoes Score 100/100 and IMDB Score 7.7/10
Realistic and moving, with beautiful cinematography, this is a stirring call for awareness of the plight of deaf schoolchildren. - Peg Aloi (Arts Fuse)
