Dark Truths
A Poetry Short Film
"Some truths are whispered. Others demand to be heard."
Dark Truths is a spoken word-driven short film that explores the quiet realities we all face but rarely speak about. Through poetry and cinematic storytelling, this film captures the moments that shape us—the weight of time, the ache of growth, and the freedom that comes with acceptance.
It’s about the unspoken lessons life teaches us—the ones that leave a mark long after the moment has passed.
Sit with it. Feel it. And ask yourself—what’s your truth?
