Sound and fury documentary free download

The hearing parents kept using the word "opportunities". The mother repeatedly said her son wouldn't have the same opportunities as his brother or any other hearing child. What opportunities could be lost by being deaf? A deaf person can grow up to do anything they want. For example, there is an International Deaf Pilot Association. When some hearing people say that deaf parents who do not give their children cochlear implants are being ignorant and selfish it makes me feel sorry for them that they do not understand what it means to be deaf.

Being deaf is not a problem that needs to be fixed; it is a different way of experiencing the world that to most hearing people may seem incomplete but is not.

In the film, the mother that gave her son the cochlear implant asked if your child was blind and there was an operation to make them see, would you do it? She then said there was no difference between that and 'fixing' a deaf child. The problem with this thinking is that the blind do not have a community; they do not have a language or their own culture. The blind don't have difficulties communicating with seeing people. That is the difference between the blind and the deaf.
