In Case You Missed It...
LIVE ENCORE PERFORMANCE with the Filmmakers!
October 28th at 5:00 p.m. MST
For More Info and to Register, click here for the “We Hear You, Now Hear Us” Talkback Zoom Event
After registering, you’ll receive a confirmation email with information about how to join the meeting.
In case you missed the first presentation, you can view the recording here. The film is about four people living with hearing loss talking about their hearing journey.
Watch the “We Hear You” Documentary - this first-of-a-kind documentary capturing the hearts and minds of those who see it. If you haven’t seen the film, or wish to see it again, watch it here before October 28th.
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.
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.
