Sound and Fury (2000)

Sound and Fury plot

"If you could make your deaf children hear, would you do it?"

This documentary follows two families with a deaf child. The two deaf parents of the first family refuse the surgical insertion of a cochlear implant that could give their deaf child hearing. For these parents, the deaf culture and the maintenance of a close social bond with their child take precedence over the possibly increased chance of self-development that their child would be granted. The two hearing parents of the second family, on the other hand, opted very early for a cochlear implant for their deaf child. They see deafness as a handicap and do not consider the preservation of the deaf culture a decisive argument. Between the two families, whose fathers are brothers, heated discussions arise about the advantages and disadvantages of a deaf identity, the value of the deaf culture and the scope of parental authority.
