I saw this incredible documentary today.
It follows four Deaf performers (an actor, a comedian, a drummer and a singer) as they navigate the peaks and valleys of the entertainment business. It's a brilliantly told story, touching and uplifting and heart wrenching all at once. These performers are so talented and passionate, yet they constantly struggle for even the opportunity to perform - and for the hearing world to take them seriously as artists. I really hope this film will help put an end to that, and give some much needed exposure to the vast international community of Deaf performers.It's playing in LA for a little longer, then they go off to NYC and a limited nation-wide tour. I don't think they're scheduled to hit Washington yet, but do keep your eyes open!
