This film talks about many different conflicts of prejudice
This film talks about many different conflicts of prejudice, discrimination, and oppression are common in the Deaf community. At first, I thought that deaf people had a really hard life. They strived to not be outsider and received in the “hearing world” and just be an equal to those that could hear. They wanted to be able to use their own communication mode, and overall be themselves. With all the great interviews and stories, it gave the film a more personal touch. The film was very emotionally to watch. I had a variety of feels come up while watching the film. I was mad when I saw what the deaf people had to go through, sad watching what the children had to endure at school and happy when Deaf President Now happened. Additionally, I did not realize how much the deaf people had to strive for throughout the many years, even today. I do believe there is still discrimination and oppression still today, especially in areas where there not many people who are deaf.
In conclusion, deafness and acceptance of deaf people have evolved over the years.
