REVIEW - THE SILENT CHILD
We all walk around in our lives, going from place to place, rushing here there and everywhere, such is our busy lives these days, working, living, paying, buying ETC but one thing we all have in common is that we all were young and that has influenced who we are today.
When young we learn at school, skills which we will us throughout the rest of our lives to allow us to work, live, pay, buy ETC, but what if.............
This film follows the story of a young Deaf girl who is given the opportunity to learn Sign language but her parents who feel they are doing the 'right thing' send her to...........
After watching this short film, for a second put yourself in the shoes of a Deaf person or Blind person (See "In Darkness" review).
The task of asking for a sandwich at a store, ordering a coffee, asking directions, imagine not being able to hear the response.
The task of reading your bills, banking, filling up a cup with hot water, reading the menu at a restaurant, imagine not being able to see.
If there is one thing you do today, if you have children or know someone who does, encourage them to watch this short film and then start a discussion, raise their awareness, encourage them to learn finger spelling (easy to learn, takes about an hour).
A must see short film which all schools should show immediately.
Rating 10 out of 10
