Directors Statement

Deaf individuals exist in this world, with some striving to learn lip-reading and speaking, aiming to integrate into the mainstream hearing community. However, the degree of success varies due to diverse inherent conditions. On the other hand, some deaf individuals embrace their silence, unlocking their full potential through sign language. Unfortunately, society still lacks sufficient support for sign language. Amid the dilemma of “overcoming deafness” and “embracing deafness,” how can deaf individuals truly live? How can one’s individuality resist being drowned out by prevailing societal trends?
