[ASL] Screening of Through Deaf Eyes, Fri Nov 2 at 6:00 PM

[Drew Pidkameny]

Hey everyone,

Those of  you who are in one of Ruth's classes already know this, but 
the Hampshire College ASL Collective will be hosting a screening of 
Through Deaf Eyes, a documentary on the history of the Deaf community in 
America. It's a very well-made film on a wicked interesting topic, and 
we will have Diane Garey, one of the filmmakers, present for a 
discussion following the screening.

 From PBS.org:

"THROUGH DEAF EYES is a documentary that explores 200 years of Deaf life 
in America. The film includes interviews with prominent members of the 
Deaf community, including actress Marlee Matlin and Gallaudet University 
president emeritus I. King Jordan.

Interwoven throughout the film are six short documentaries produced by 
Deaf media artists and filmmakers. Poignant, sometimes humorous, these 
commissioned stories bring a personalized sense of Deaf life in America 
to the film. Through first person accounts and the film as a whole, 
THROUGH DEAF EYES tells the story of conflicts, prejudice and 
affirmation that ultimately reaches the heart of what it means to be 
human."

WHERE: the West Lecture Hall in FPH
WHEN: Friday, Nov 2 at 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM (2-hour screening followed by 
1-hour discussion)

Hope to see you there!
