Silent Fall is a global exploration of the cultural forces eroding the value of human life and the social injustices that result. Behind every innocent victim is a story of tragic cultural pressures and a life-altering choice.

Silent Fall Documentary
While couples bow to the necessity of abortion-saying, shikata ganai, "there's nothing to be done"-millions have been drawn to a Buddhist cult devoted to Jizo, the protector of aborted, miscarried, and stillborn children. Once a minor bodhisattva in the Buddhist pantheon, Jizo has revived the fortunes of local temples ...that perform mizuko kuyo, the ritual designed to assist in the peaceful resettlement of "returned" children who cannot pass alone across the river separating the living from the dead.
The Jizo figurines crowd hillside cemeteries, coastal promontories, and city temples. In Kamakura, just to the side of the famous Hasedera Temple, is an area devoted to a flourishing Jizo cult, with a large covered statue of the bodhisattva surrounded by a battalion of small Jizo figures, some of them decorated with traditional red capes or bibs, a few even accompanied by toys. A message board stands next to the bodhisattva, allowing parents to leave signed apologies and prayers. The Jizo figurines (which cost about $80), fresh flowers, and other gifts can be purchased at the main temple. The statues remain in place for some time, after which a formal offering is made for the soul of the aborted child. At the site, a short, printed explanation of the plight of "returned" souls-known as mizuko, or water children-suggests that they will remain in limbo if parents neglect their religious obligations.
