CODA

Set over 20 years, a deaf woman struggles to gain understanding and support from her family.

This film shows a timeline of Jenny’s life. From being a daughter to becoming a mum, ‘CODA’ (Child of Deaf Adults) explores what life is like for Jenny, whose family refuse to learn sign language. Jenny’s daughter is not hearing impaired and, growing up as a child of deaf parents, she can sign wonderfully. Through her, we see what life is like for a child of deaf adults – the benefits that she reaps from both worlds and also her unequivocal intolerance for her grandparents refusal to learn sign language in order to communicate with their daughter.

In BSL with English subtitles.
