Deaf follows a young deaf woman and her hearing partner, who are expecting a baby. Unable to know whether their child will be hearing or deaf until birth, it’s a beautiful, nuanced depiction of their journey. The clever use of sound and silence immerses us in Ángela's experience and explores the struggles she faces, given the inadequacies of the world for deaf people. The film contains subtitles and captions in English.
There will be an option to discuss the film after over free tea and coffee.
Deaf is screening as part of National Inclusion Week® (taking place 15 to 21 September), a yearly event that takes place every September that is dedicated to celebrating inclusion and taking action to build inclusive workplaces. National Inclusion Week® offers an opportunity to spark conversations and inspire thinking about inclusion across your organisation. It serves as a platform for discussion, generating ideas, or launching new initiatives. What makes National Inclusion Week® unique and exciting is that is involves everyone. It’s a great week to discuss intersectional issues and include all your communities – across gender, race, religion, LGBTQ+, disabilities, carers and social mobility.
