About 'The Silent Run'

According to the outlet, the film is centred on Sara and Adam, who, with their two-year-old daughter, have entered Belgium illegally and are now trying to reach England. Crammed with other migrants in the back of a van, fear starts to overtake hope. Redouane, a police officer for 20 years, spends his nights chasing smugglers on Belgium's busy motorway network. That night, as his team attempts to stop a van suspected of transporting migrants, everything changes.

Producer Arnaud Chevallier shared the film's trailer on his YouTube channel, according to Variety. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZ49R2-GuGk
