Deaf people in Mexico are part of a rich culture that is fraught with educational setbacks, communication obstacles, and limited employment opportunities. This first-ever documentary on Deaf Mexicans and their stories offers a compelling look at the hurdles faced by this group, and the everyday victories won in challenging circumstances.
This documentary shows Deaf people struggling for the basic rights enjoyed by Deaf people in the United States and other countries. Covering issues faced by many Deaf people - lack of governmental support for Deaf education, language rights, and acceptance from the "mainstream" population - this look inside of Deaf Mexico reveals how community helps people carve out good lives.
Produced by Joe Dannis, Directed by Yoon Lee, and Written by Margarita Mucino Adams.
A production of Dawn Pictures, a division of DawnSignPress.
