This intimate portrait of deaf American actress, Marlee Matlin, follows her stellar career and activism, charting her influence on Deaf representation across film and culture.
Blending personal reflection with broader social history, Stern’s documentary about Matlin’s life foregrounds the resilience and creative autonomy she possesses to stand as both biography and cultural record.
Matlin won an Academy Award for Best Actress in her acting debut for her portrayal of Sarah Norman in the romantic drama Children of a Lesser God. She has worked primarily in television, authored four books and is recognised for her advocacy for deaf people.
‘A moving reminder of how visibility can transform an entire community.’ - Sheri Linden, The Hollywood Reporter
