So Long Silence

MORE ABOUT THE FILM

This absorbing documentary about Michelle Lennert and her classmates at the California School for the Deaf blows stereotypical notions out of the water, offering fresh insights into the needs of deaf teens and how they perceive their strengths, challenges and culture as part of our diverse society. Michelle and her friends may not use their voices, but their message is far from silent.
