Deaf actress' BSL poem is powerful and thought-provoking performance.
LONDON, UK -- Red Earth Studio's new video "Dear Hearing World" is a short film directed by Adam Docker, based on a poem written and spoken by Deaf spoken-word artist Raymond Antrobus. The film blends Deaf actress Vilma Jackson’s powerful and thought-provoking performance in British Sign Language (BSL) with music and striking urban London scenes.
This important work calls out ‘audio supremacy’ and asks us to acknowledge the Deaf protagonist’s defiant indignation at their treatment by the hearing world.
