ETV documentary "Through Deaf Eyes"

projector clip artETV will air "Through Deaf Eyes," a new two-hour documentary on
Sunday, August 9 at 9 p.m.:

THROUGH DEAF EYES is a two-hour HDTV documentary that explores 200
years of Deaf life in America. The film includes interviews with
prominent members of the Deaf community, including actress Marlee
Matlin and Gallaudet University president emeritus I. King Jordan.

Interwoven throughout the film are six short documentaries produced
by Deaf media artists and filmmakers. Poignant, sometimes humorous,
these commissioned stories bring a personalized sense of Deaf life in
America to the film. Through first person accounts and the film as a
whole, THROUGH DEAF EYES tells the story of conflicts, prejudice and
affirmation that ultimately reaches the heart of what it means to be human.
