Description of the first film:
"SOUND AND FURY documents one family's struggle over whether or not to
provide two deaf children with cochlear implants, devices that can stimulate
hearing. As the Artinians of Long Island, New York debate what is the right
choice for the two deaf cousins, Heather, 6, and Peter, 1 1/2, viewers are
introduced to one of the most controversial issues affecting the deaf
community today. Cochlear implants may provide easier access to the hearing
world, but what do the devices mean for a person's sense of identity with
deaf culture? Can durable bridges be built between the deaf and hearing
worlds? Find out." -pbs.org

The follow up documentary, "Six Years Later" was recently released and shows
where the family is now, as Heather was actually implanted at age 9 and is
now 12 years old. 

Free popcorn and snacks! Admission is free and open to the community.
