NEW! You Won't Want to Miss This Documentary! Be sure to mark your calendar:
September 23, 2021; 5:00 p.m. MT
We Hear You (WHY), named the "Best Film on Disability" at Cannes World Film Festival, is a groundbreaking documentary about hearing loss, the invisible disability that impacts 430 million people worldwide, including 48 million in the United States alone. By shining a light on the hearing loss experience, it strives to build awareness, community and a more inclusive world for all.
This private screening for the hearing loss community will be the first of its kind.
Look for a link two weeks prior to the event to watch the film online at your convenience. The Talkback, moderated by Gael Hannan, will provide a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the documentary (across two continents during the Covid-19 pandemic, no less)— and give the filmmakers the opportunity to hear from you — the hearing loss community.
Registration is required for this event. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. For more information, and to register, click here.
