Voices of silence

By Saulo Gabriel Maciel, Tatyane Soares Cance, Géshica Rodrigues Bernardo

Course Conclusion Work - Social Communication/Journalism: Production of a 15-minute documentary video, which aims to convey the reality of the deaf community in Campo Grande/MS. The film features three deaf protagonists: Elaine Aparecida de Oliveira, Carlos Gracindo Pereira Landivar and Shirley Vilhalva. Their stories are different, but they share a common reality: deafness. The short film seeks to show an identity, from childhood to the present day, of what it's like to live with hearing loss. Between difficulties and overcoming them, the deaf manage to lead a normal life, often marked by struggles and achievements. The film features interviews with friends, family, specialists and professionals in the field, as well as testimonies of victories achieved. The two laws that benefit the hearing impaired and the creation of National Deaf Day are also presented. As it is about a target audience, the content was produced in a way that is accessible to deaf people, so the entire documentary is labelled in Brazilian Sign Language (Libras).
