Saw this documentary on TV and thought it was very interesting. The narrator does a good job explaining the background of the deafness and also talks about what she believes is the root of the problem. I think the whole family was a little too stressed. They were in a car on the way to visit their son in his home and they didn't stop the car for an hour and a half. A little nervous but also very excited to see the real life of someone with this disability. The same kind of traffic jam in the past with disabled people also happened in their home. They must have been exhausted from all the rides they took. They must have been a little tired from all the stops. A little more will not hurt. The story of how they got their hearing back is very interesting.

This documentary is an extraordinary eye opener. I know nothing about what it's like to be deaf. I know very little about what it's like to be "hearing impaired" or "hearing impaired," so I'm only doing the best I can with what I've been given. It was also great to see the difference between a person who is learning to be "hearing impaired" and a person who is "hearing impaired" on the inside. That said, I would say that a documentary like this does not necessarily make a documentary worth watching. For me, I really did not enjoy it. It was just a very hard film to watch. It was difficult to watch, and I was hoping that it would end. I would say that if you are looking for a documentary about deafness, I would say you're probably better off renting a "hearing impaired" documentary like "Life in a Mirror."

When I first saw this film, it did not catch my attention, but I did enjoy it for what it was. I was impressed that this film was a great starting point for me to learn more about deaf culture. I learned a lot about how deaf people live and how we think about the world. The people in the film are amazing. They are not perfect, but they are still pretty decent people. I also learned that being deaf does not have to be a bad thing. I have been deaf for a long time, and I really do not mind. This film also taught me to not take my hearing loss or my hearing aids for granted. This film was a great starting point for me to learn more about deaf culture.

Great movie. I had the pleasure of seeing this at the Dallas film festival, and the best part was, all the deaf people were the same age and able to relate to the subject matter. From the very first scene, you see the impact of deafness on the people around you. This movie is the reason I watch the deaf film festivals. They are where I find some of the most innovative and groundbreaking works. All the artists in this film were absolutely fantastic, and I would love to see them on film again. I also loved the music in this movie. This movie was very well made. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes to find out about the subject matter.

I thought that this movie was extremely interesting and well done. I am a deaf person, so I was particularly interested in the fact that the director, Andrea Bordon, has had her hearing restored. This is a true story, of the deaf son of a deaf person who was killed when he was eight years old. The film does a good job of showing the history of the deaf culture in Japan, as well as showing the culture of the deaf community in the US. I thought that it was interesting to see what it would have been like if the story was told from the point of view of the deaf people in Japan. It was a very interesting story of how society and deaf culture actually worked together and why the deaf community is not as popular as it is in Japan. It was also interesting to see the world's first DTH at work. It was amazing to see how the director was able to create the illusion of the sound of the city of Tokyo from the distance of thousands of miles. She even managed to put the music right in the background. I thought that this movie was very well done and I think that the deaf community and the deaf community in Japan should be able to enjoy this film.

I was really impressed with the documentary 'American Sign Language: Signs of Deafness in America' that is about the growing number of Deaf and hard of hearing people in the USA. This is the first time that I've ever heard about the deaf community and I was surprised. In the '70s, the Deaf community in America was scattered. In the early 1970s, it was very easy to move to the US from other countries. Even though the '65-'75 Deaf rights movement was strong, Deaf people weren't as active as they are today. They were basically suppressed by the community. I thought this documentary was really interesting. It talked about the many ways in which the Deaf community is different than hearing people. Even though hearing people have much more privileges than Deaf people, the Deaf community is still limited by society's expectations and limitations. Hearing people can do so much more than Deaf people, but they are still considered "other" by the society. This documentary showed that the Deaf community is very individualistic, and they don't mind their disability. Deaf people are able to understand other cultures very well, and they can talk and write in Sign Language. This is an important part of their culture. Even though Deaf people aren't the most active people, they still enjoy the benefits of society. Deaf people are more productive than Deaf people, and they are still considered "other" by society. They do not have to put up with society's assumptions and limitations. This documentary was very informative and it helped me understand the Deaf community more. I recommend this documentary to everyone.

This is a fantastic documentary. It is the first time I have seen a documentary about deaf people. I have always been interested in hearing people, but never knew much about the Deaf community. I saw the documentary at the Sundance film festival and was blown away. I was very impressed with the movie. It is a great film that should be shown in schools and colleges as well as in the homes of deaf people. I can not recommend this film enough. I also recommend seeing it on the big screen. I am really looking forward to seeing this film again. I would recommend this film to anyone who is interested in hearing people or deaf culture.

There are many things that are not clear about this film. For example, why would the author of the poem write a story about being deaf? Why would the poet tell the story of a woman's life and relationships, especially since his poems were probably written before his disability? In the beginning, I was confused by the fact that the director did not really explain these questions, and that he gave his interpretation to the viewers. The first half of the film is pretty much pure film making, but after that it gets more and more interesting. Some of the scenes are great and really touch the audience. The scene when the composer is going to her grandfather's grave and is crying, and the people who are there are just beautiful. The scene where they discuss the poem are also very touching and fun. I love how the director just tells the story and the viewer can get the feeling that the poet is telling the story. The other great scene is when the poet talks about the fact that he does not understand music, and the audience can relate to the experience of being a deaf poet. Overall, it is a very good film and I recommend it to everyone.

I must say I was so impressed with this documentary that I just had to watch it again. I have been following the story of Deaf West Hollywood since I was a child. I was born with hearing loss. When I was six years old I was "deaf" for three months and I was put in an "auditory rehabilitation center" and read every word in sign language. I could never understand a word spoken in sign language. It was just something you had to learn how to do. You have to learn how to read sign language to understand any word that is spoken in sign language. That is why the word "deaf" means hearing loss. Because hearing loss in the rest of the body is just a sign that something is wrong. Hearing loss is what your body is telling you is wrong. It's the same as Deaf loss in the brain. It just is what your body is telling you. Some people have a lifetime of hearing loss and they are born with no hearing and there are days that you are completely deaf. Then when you start to develop hearing problems they are so severe that you can't talk, you can't understand words that are spoken to you, you have a seizure that you can't control. You can't breathe, you can't speak, you have a lot of difficulty in walking, and you have a lot of difficulty in moving around. The most common problem in people with hearing loss is the otoscope. It's something that they put on the otoscope and it makes sounds come out of the otoscope and it's the hearing loss. It's like a big loud voice. It's a huge problem. Then there is some more serious problems. There is a deaf person who was born deaf. They're also born with no hearing and they don't know that they're deaf until they grow up. When they hear that something is wrong they are very upset. They don't know how to fix it. Then there's some more serious problems. The most serious problem is from the perspective of the deaf person's health. The most serious problem is deafness and the main thing is it affects your whole body. If you don't know what it is you'll just think that you're deaf. The otoscope, if it's damaged or not properly connected to the brain it will just make noise in your ear and you won't be able to hear. If it's damaged and connected properly it's like a small tube that goes down your ear. It'll just make noise. It's not just noise. There is a big problem of getting to see the hearing loss. The only way to see it is through a hearing aid. The most common problem is hearing aids. They're very bad. A hearing aid can damage the body and will just make noise in your ear. A hearing aid can make a big noise in your ear. The only way to see the hearing loss is to get a hearing aid. The problem is the doctors don't understand the problems of the people with hearing loss. So they don't understand that hearing loss is a big problem. I think that this is one of the most important things that this film showed. I think that a lot of people don't know how serious this problem is. There is something wrong with our whole body and we have to fix it. The other problem is that it affects the hearing and the hearing is damaged in the body. Then there is the problem with people that have no health insurance. So the health insurance company doesn't cover it. If you have health insurance you don't have to pay anything for your hearing loss. If you don't have health insurance you are out of luck. But that's the way it is. There are people out there who don't have health insurance. That's the reality. We all need to

This is a great documentary. It is not only about the deafness, but also about the importance of music and the importance of being yourself. I recommend this to everyone, regardless of age, gender, or race. I think everyone should see this film.

I am sure most of us can relate to this story. My sister and I were diagnosed with a rare disease called "Deafness". A condition that causes the deafness to come and go. The way to explain it is that it is like having your ears and a whole lot of hair cut. It also causes the hair to fall out. The two of us are happy that we were able to have both of our hearing voices heard, but in a different way. We did not want our voices to be cut off, but more to how hearing aids were made to work. The story of us was amazing. I was curious to see how the world would be as it is today when we were able to hear. I would recommend this movie to anyone. I loved it, it is just perfect. One of the best movies I have ever seen.

Well, I finally found this DVD, which has been on the market for quite a while. I would say that the last one that was really good was the DVD that featured Michael Moore's film "Bowling for Columbine". "Loving and being loved", is a documentary by Dan Nainan, in which he talks about his son's attempts to be deaf and his struggle to adapt to his condition. He interviews friends, family and himself and the results are mixed. His father does not understand his son's condition and feels that he is not a good parent, but Dan has managed to convince his father to allow his son to become a writer, because he feels that his son is the best person in the world. "Loving and being loved" is a good documentary, but there is nothing to make it better. It is too long and does not move very fast. It might have made a better documentary if the story was made more concise, and if the transitions between scenes were smoother. There is nothing really wrong with "Loving and being loved", but it is not the best documentary about this very important subject.

I found this film to be very inspiring. I was looking for something similar to what I was seeing in the news, and I found this film to be very accurate. I am very glad I found it. This is a film that I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a film that will make them cry and inspire them.

The film starts with an introduction to the actors and then the film moves to a music video to a book of the same title. From there the film takes a series of moving images from the book and the film ends with a hauntingly beautiful video of the first movement of the symphony. The music video is a beautiful film, and the film is excellent. I have not been to a concert or been to a movie of this level before, and I was impressed. It is a moving and well done film.

This is a movie that I had not heard about, and that I think would make a great documentary. It is about a deaf woman who was put in an institution for the deaf in the 1920s and was never allowed to leave. She started a band and wrote a book, but that was the last we hear of her. But now she is back in school and in the process of doing a film about her experiences. She is doing this at the request of her mother. This movie is a must see for all of us who are deaf, and who love music. You will learn that you have so much more to learn about this woman who is so misunderstood.

When I heard of this movie, I thought I would be disappointed. I did not believe I would get to see such a beautiful movie, and I was right. The actors, the story, the music, the background music. I loved it! The director and the actors have made an excellent movie! This movie is a perfect example of how to make a movie. The scenes are seamless, the music is very beautiful and the story is very interesting. It is a very interesting story, and it's really worth watching. If you love music and movies, you should definitely watch this movie.

You should watch this movie. I watched it as a college student and it was so moving. It's a story about two deaf people who come together and want to save a deaf child, who was being abused by her parents. This movie is very enlightening and very moving. The director did a wonderful job of taking a very simple idea and turning it into a very powerful film. I would recommend this movie to anyone who is deaf or hard of hearing. This movie will show you that you can't ignore the fact that you are deaf and you should never give up your dreams.

It is wonderful to see a documentary about the condition of deaf children, and the courage and strength of the parents who try to overcome their deafness. I loved the way the film dealt with the subject matter, and was impressed by the strong opinions that each of the parents had. There was a great deal of information that was provided about the causes of the deafness, and the parents' struggles to overcome them. This was a very important issue that I think everyone should know about, and I hope that more people will see it.

A very interesting documentary. This movie is both beautiful and very personal. The director was very good at showing this kind of film. She was also very good at showing the history of this topic. I was surprised by the depth of the film. I never would have thought about this topic. It's very personal. It is a very powerful movie and I recommend it to anyone. There are a lot of people who have never heard of this topic and it should be recognized. It is a very important topic and it needs to be talked about. I will recommend this movie to anyone and it is definitely worth watching.

It is quite sad to see so many of the great musicals coming out of Hollywood in the past few years, and the same with "Lion King" and "Coraline". "Lion King" is just one of the greatest, and "Coraline" is the most entertaining and most popular animated film in the history of cinema. "Lion King" is a story of a boy who has lost his hearing, and struggles to survive in the harsh environment of the jungle, where he meets the beautiful and fascinating "Coraline", a young girl who's only desire is to be like her hero, the Lion King. I was very impressed by the voice acting of the Lion King, the best that I've ever heard in a film, which really impressed me. The voice acting of "Coraline" is also excellent, and the music by the amazing composer Danny Elfman is also very beautiful and touching. I highly recommend this film to anyone who wants to learn about the history of African culture and music. I also recommend that you do not listen to the soundtrack, but just watch the film itself, as it is just as powerful. I give this film 10 out of 10, and hope that you will give this film a chance as well.

This is a very moving documentary that will leave you with tears in your eyes. I don't think I've ever cried so much in a documentary. I highly recommend this film to anyone. It is not easy to watch. It is very emotional and at times it is very disturbing. It is a very powerful film. It is a must see. The camera work is wonderful. It is a great documentary.

I've read the book a few times, and then the movie. And I am always fascinated by it. There are so many scenes and details that are missed by the movie. I love how the scenes of the Oompa-Loompas in the movie are almost the same as the ones in the book. The scenes of the school are so detailed, and it is a great change to see the Oompa-Loompas' voices. The musical numbers are also so great. I think the movie is fantastic and it's hard to understand why people don't like it. I think this movie is more than a great movie. I think it's a great movie that's really a story of a generation. I think this is a movie for all ages. It's not for people who don't like music, or for people who don't like music, but I think this is a movie for everyone.

This is a must see film. I am not sure if the first two movements were produced as a part of the project but it certainly was a great experience. It was also very interesting to hear what the performers had to say about the process of creating the music and the emotional attachment the performer had to it. The movie also made me want to get out of my comfort zone and watch a live performance. I would recommend this film to anyone who is interested in music, especially for someone who is not familiar with the music. The film was very educational and the information given to the audience was very clear. There were some very interesting moments in the film which I won't spoil for those who haven't seen it yet. Overall, a great film and one of the best documentaries I've ever seen.
