DVD Reviews of Through Deaf Eyes

DVD Review: There is Captions
Summary: 5 Stars

I just wanted to add a comment about the lack of Captions spoken of earlier. Its true that there is not an option on the disk to set for captions or subtitles, however I discovered that having the TV captions turned on through the TV set there are captions that will show up on the screen. I say this because it is a great programe,and if anyone from the deaf cummuinity did not want to buy it because of the lack of that feature need not worry because it does work. Other than that I just want to remark that I feel that it is a must see feature there is a lot to learn from it.

DVD Review: WOW!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a great documentary of deaf people and culture. It has a great history and some interesting insights from deaf adults and children! I am happy this movie was made to help many hearing people understand the differences among the deaf people within the world and the effects it can take. I hope parents see this and are given all options for their children who are deaf.

DVD Review: Important reading
Summary: 5 Stars

This is an excellent documentary, interesting and well done. It provides well researched background information about the history of Deaf culture, and should help many people, both hearing and deaf, to understand the cultural aspects of this community, and to think of deafness as diversity and not necessarily disability.

DVD Review: Let's get real...
Summary: 5 Stars

I have to tell you, this documentary was for the hearing who have no concept of deaf culture and it's evolution into what it is today. It was never meant to "speak for all" deaf culture or any sub-culture specific. If it was a film dedicated to and for the deaf, it would have been handled MUCH differently.

After all people who grew up deaf do not need this kind of introduction into a world they know all too well. This is a fabulous film for those of us who never knew there was a whole culture that is actually as intricate and debated as a religion. This was for the hearing who have no idea what it must be like.

This is as immersive as you can get for the masses and not lose their attention. We live in a society where it either grabs at you or who cares about it, and I think they hit on the right combonation to make people stand up and take notice.

I agree and hope this becomes a series so they may continue this whole idea and include all those who feel like it wasn't complete enough.

My nephew is deaf, but he suffers from multiple emotional disabilities. He watched this with me and was delighted at it's content. He said the same thing I did, that maybe the general public will now have a better understanding of what it means to be deaf, not just wonder how it must feel.

DVD Review: Through Deaf Eyes
Summary: 5 Stars

The best all-around history of the Deaf community and Deaf experience on film. Very useful for personal information or a Deaf studies course. Having the most famous Deaf success stories (some of whom I've met) helps to dispell some of the misconceptions hearing people still have about Deaf people. I highly recommend this product. I guaranty if you watch this with some of your Deaf friends it will spark one of the most interesting and impassioned conversationsThrough Deaf Eyes you will ever have.
