GLove Trailer - The First Deaf Baseball Team

GLove Trailer - The first hearing impaired Korean baseball team.

SEOUL, South Korea -- 'GLove' (Korean Movie - 2011) - A cocky ex-baseball player goes to the countryside to coach a team of Hearing-Impaired Boys. The school's baseball team consisted of 25 players who were Deaf.

What started out as a PR stunt to salvage his reputation turns into a serious bid for the National Championships. Acclaimed Korean director Kang Woo-seok’s first film based on a true story, 'GLove,' tells the story of a baseball team whose members are all hearing-impaired.

Kim Sang-nam (Jeong Jae-yeong), a hot-tempered former professional baseball player, is sent to the countryside to coach a team of hearing-impaired players in order to avoid media coverage of his recent involvement in an assault case.

At first, Kim has a difficult time imagining how he can teach baseball to a group of boys who can’t hear, but as he spends time with them he starts to believe that they can play the game.

Motivated, Kim decides to help them prepare for the nationals. But things don’t go the way Kim plans and their difficulties communicating with one another exacerbates the situation.

Deaf Awareness: 'I Sign and I Live' Short Film

This short film is related to cochlear implants and suppression of American Sign Language.

Click on the image above to watch the 32-minute film with subtitles.

If you watch this short film, then you guys should open your eyes and understand in 'I Sign and I Live' by Aidan Mack. The 32-minute film about a Deaf teacher and her Deaf niece. This film is related to cochlear implants and suppression of American Sign Language.

The 32-minutes dramatic film, I Sign and I Live, is about Daisy, a Deaf teacher who faces prejudices and sterotypes in society at large. She faces a battle of wills in her own family with her sister over the matter the upbringing of her niece Dawn. Her hearing sister Kay makes decision to have her Deaf daughter, Dawn, fitted with cochlear implant. Daisy is appalled at the decision. It amounts to Kay rejecting Dawn's Deaf identity. Her sister is under the false impression that having any amount of hearing, no matter how limited and no matter the risk involved in obtaining it, is better than being Deaf and is better than experiencing life as a visual being.

Kay has always been prejudiced against Deaf people, though she was able to hide her prejudice until her decision to have Daisy implanted. Daisy is an educated professional and is hurt to discover Kay's ignorance. Kay is less educated and does not work outside the home. She doesn't believe that Deaf people can succeed professionally, even though she was witnessed Daisy's success and her accomplishments.

Daisy's niece is removed from her signing classroom and placed in an oral, auditory-oriented class. She is not allowed to sign with anyone. Dawn is not allowed to interact with Daisy at all. The story of the battle between Daisy and her sister ends with a tragic conclusion. Kay, along with the larger society, tries to suppress the use of sign language, but Deaf people like Daisy continue fighting on to sign - and live.
