- DirectorJosh AronsonStarsJaime Leigh AllenJemma BrahamFreeda CatIf you could make your deaf child hear, would you? Academy Award-nominated "Sound and Fury" follows the intimate, heart-rending tale of the Artinians, an extended family of deaf and hearing members, across three generations. Together they confront a technological device that can help the deaf to hear but may also threaten deaf culture--and their bonds with one another. For Peter and his wife, both of whom are deaf, a surgical ear implant for their 5-year-old daughter Heather means a choice between two worlds: an unfamiliar hearing world; and the deaf world, a robust culture in its own right united by a uniquely visual and artistic language. Heather Artinian--precocious, vivacious, and avidly curious about implant surgery--is caught between her deaf parents and her hearing grandparents as they argue passionately about her future. The debate is sometimes silent, but by no means quiet. "Sound and Fury" speaks volumes about the choices we make and the battles we fight in order to be heard.
