It features interviews with a broad spectrum of deaf individuals, from everymen to noted personalities, all of whom provide deep personal insights and reflections into the plight of deafness. The program also explores a number of key events that have shaped deaf culture; touchstones include: the creation of the first deaf school, the campaign to establish the deaf telephone known as TTY, the controversy over ASL (American Sign Language) and the election of a deaf president at Gallaudet University. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
