According to the article “Deaf ‘let down by GPs’, the article states that “.a high percentage of deaf and hard of hearing people feel isolated because of their deafness” (BBC News). This left those individuals feeling isolated and left out of their own family. They were often told “I’ll tell you later” or that what they were talking about “wasn’t important” or they “wouldn’t understand”. Many stories included deaf people struggling to be involved in conversations with their hearing relatives, seeing them laugh and smile, but not being able to keep up or understand. For those hearing families who don’t change their ways and learn ASL to communicate with their child, this could lead to days, months, or even years of a family struggling to communicate and bond with each other. As the family is the first community a deaf individual belongs to, being born into a hearing family that doesn’t sign can significantly affect how a deaf individual will be shaped.

A quote from the movie that stuck out to me was, “Language and tongues have become synonymous, so what happens when a group of people use hands not tongue? They aren’t seen as human and are different” (Audism Unveiled). Oppression can be seen in a number of environments, but the hardest might be in one's own home. They often felt left out or disconnected.

This documentary was packed full with stories of deaf individuals who struggled to communicate and establish relationships with their hearing family members.

At the time of this documentary, 69% of deaf children live in a home where parents don’t sign. Deaf people have made strides with discrimination in their own families, education, and laws.įor many deaf individuals, they were born to hearing families who were part of another culture and spoke a different language. The personal accounts of those involved in this documentary are emotionally charged with frustration, sadness, anger, and hopefulness for future generations to be more understanding and educated. Audism Unveiled tells the stories of different families and the struggles with discrimination that deaf people have been facing for years.
