In 1986, Marlee Matlin became the first deaf woman who won an Oscar. The rest of her career did not go smoothly, but this did not break the actress. In parallel with her acting work, all her life she has been fighting for the correct representation of deaf and hard-of-hearing people in film and television.

Shoshannah Stern’s documentary may sound traditional enough, but there’s a profound power to its choices.

— Kate Erbland, IndieWire

One of those whose life has been influenced by Matlin is deaf film director Shoshannah Stern. She made this film about her heroine—a fascinating, inspiring spectacle of perseverance and overcoming.

The screening will be followed by a discussion “Frame to Gesture: How Film Works with the Deaf.”
