I had never realized there was a deaf culture as defined by this movie! I had a cousin who was deaf from birth, visited her at her "special" school, learned to sign a little myself, loved her dearly and still mourn her death. I learned from watching this movie there are people who actually HATE others because they are NOT DEAF, just as some people HATE people who are NOT GAY or NOT BLACK or NOT American BORN or NOT BAPTIST! Why must people hate others just because they are different! This movie shows how it can even affect the unfortunate children of such biased people. Can you imagine waiting until a child is 15 and allowing the child to decide if he/she wants to be educated or illiterate? That seems as fair and sensible as making a child remain deaf or hearing impaired until that age when they can decide for themselves if they want to hear! A person that can not embrace their own differences wouldn't be able to embrace another person's differences though...or to admit their narrow-mindedness! This film is certainly enlightening for anyone willing to learn.
