“The hearing world… they think deaf people are like monsters,” says Amy who is deaf and was born into an entirely deaf family.
“The only thing different about me is my ears don’t work.”

And every day they are faced with a world that is not built for them.
This film gives a glimpse of what it’s really like to be deaf in the UK, the language and community that’s built around it, and explores how we can make Britain more accessible, starting today.
