How much do you know and understand about the Deaf Community and Deaf Culture? Being deaf in a hearing dominated world often comes with oppression.
This insightful documentary film from directors Ben Bahan and H-Dirksen Bauman explores audism, which is defined as the notion that one is superior based on one’s ability to hear and speak, or behave in the manner of one who hears and speaks.

Reexamine your assumptions, engage in the content and become part of the solution.
