[Moose with sunglasses]
The Silent Child centers around a profoundly deaf four year old girl named Libby who is born into a middle class family and lives in a world of silence until a caring social worker teaches her the gift of communication. All seems to be going well until it doesn’t. The film reflects the biases faced by deaf people simply for being different and to the urgent need for change to give them equitable access to the world.
