ABOUT THE FILM 
"The Silence of the Lambs" is a 1991 psychological horror-thriller directed by Jonathan Demme. The film follows FBI trainee Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster), who is tasked with interviewing the imprisoned cannibalistic serial killer, Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins). Starling seeks Lecter's help to catch another serial killer, "Buffalo Bill," who is abducting women. As Starling and Lecter form an uneasy connection, she delves into the disturbing psychology of both killers. The film explores themes of power, manipulation, and the darkness of the human mind, blending crime investigation with psychological tension and horror. It remains a highly influential film in the thriller genre. 
  
TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
  
“Sir Anthony Hopkins based his portrayal of Dr. Hannibal Lecter on a friend in London who never blinked while speaking, which unnerved anyone around him.” 
  
“Jodie Foster spent a lot of time with real-life FBI agent Mary Ann Krause to prepare for her role as Clarice Starling. Krause inspired the scene in which Starling stands beside her car crying, suggesting it as an emotional release from the overwhelming pressures of her work.” 
  
“The real FBI’s Behavioral Science Unit assisted with the film, ensuring its portrayal of the FBI's profiling work was accurate.” 
  
“The production received full cooperation from the FBI, who saw the film as a potential recruitment tool to attract more female agents.”

    “A powerful reclamation.”—AudioFileThe first comprehensive audiobook about Michael Stewart, the young Black artist and model who was the victim of a fatal assault by police in 1983, from Elon Green, the Edgar Award-winning author of Last Call.This program, read by multi Audie award-winning narrator Dion Graham, features a bonus conversation between the author and gallerist Patrick Fox, who rented Michael Stewart studio space in New York City.At twenty-five years old, Michael Stewart was a young Black aspiring artist, deejay, and model, looking to make a name for himself in the vibrant downtown art scene of the early 1980’s New York City. On September 15, 1983, he was brutally beaten by New York City Transit Authority police for allegedly tagging a 14th Street subway station wall.Witnesses reported officers beating him with billy clubs and choking him with a nightstick. Stewart arrived at Bellevue Hospital hog-tied with no heartbeat and died after thirteen days in a coma. This was, at that point, the most widely noticed act of police brutality in the city's history. The Man Nobody Killed recounts the cultural impact of Michael Stewart’s life and death.The Stewart case quickly catalyzed movements across multiple communities. It became a rallying cry, taken up by artists and singers including Madonna, Keith Haring, Spike Lee, and Jean-Michel Basquiat, tabloid legends such as Jimmy Breslin and Murray Kempton, and the pioneering local news reporter, Gabe Pressman. The Stewart family and the downtown arts community of 1980s New York demanded justice for Michael, leading to multiple investigations into the circumstances of his wrongful death.Elon Green, the Edgar Award–winning author of Last Call, presents the first comprehensive narrative account of Michael Stewart's life and killing, the subsequent court proceedings, and the artistic aftermath. In the vein of The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace and His Name is George Floyd, Green brings us the story of a promising life cut short and a vivid snapshot of the world surrounding this loss. A tragedy set in stark contrast against the hope, activism, and creativity of the 1980’s New York City art scene, The Man Nobody Killed serves as a poignant reminder of recurring horrors in American history and explores how, and for whom, the justice system fails.A Macmillan Audio production from Celadon Books.
