To Be Deaf

The deaf could be compared to a cultural minority struggling to assert itself in a society that has other priorities. Their integration is made more difficult by a handicap that oftentimes spells loneliness. This film acquaints its audience with the problems connected with impaired hearing: communication, education, social integration, jobs. It shows how many of these problems can be surmounted, or at the very least attenuated. A film that makes those who can hear aware of the deaf. This film has English subtitles in addition to an English soundtrack.
