About the Film: We often take our ability to communicate and express complex thoughts and emotions for granted. However, for many Deaf individuals like Charu, the film's protagonist, access to language comes much later in life. Her journey reminds us of the transformative power of language and its profound impact on self-expression and identity. While anchored in the Deaf experience, the film broadens the conversation by weaving in stories of a hearing CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) trying to find her place between two worlds and four young artists — a drag queen, an actor, a dancer and a poet, each striving to find meaning and communicate their truths in their own unique way.

For 25 years, we have been screening and discussing documentary films on development, environment, and socially relevant issues, in an effort to positively influence mindsets and behaviour towards creating an equitous, just, and peaceful world.
