A dramatization of the story about the struggle of a Boston teacher, Annie Sullivan, to communicate with and teach the deaf, blind, and mute child, Helen Keller.
If you could make your deaf child hear, would you? Sound and fury is the intimate, heart-rending tale of the Artinians, an extended family with deaf and hearing members across three generations. Together they confront a technological device that can help the deaf to hear but may also threaten deaf culture, and their bonds with each other.
The hearing children of parents with a hearing impairment inhabit a unique culture: men and women who do not quite belong to either of the worlds between which they are the only true bridge. Many are members of CODA [Children of Deaf Adults, Inc.] an international organization that focuses--primarily but not exclusively--on helping hearing children of deaf adults address their bicultural identity, and help the larger society better understand both hearing and deafness.
