The Silence Between Hello is about what we inherit from our families and what we leave behind. Each season explores one family member through the artifacts of their lives: voicemails, diary entries, handmade objects, and the complicated legacy of religious fundamentalism. It's about the complexity of love across difference and distance, the weight of faith used as control, and the silence that both protects and harms.

Mom wasn't just forgetting details; she was losing the thread of her own actions, her own intentions.
