Kyle M 1d One of the best documentaries at the time over its subject matter encapsulating the communicative breakthrough possibility, validated by the emotional substance regarding identity to the extent of parental issues that feels so natural as we engage through the proceeding miracle. (B+) See more spencer p @s_plewe 03/24/2017 Emotionally explosive and rightfully even-handed, this is a timeless and universal documentary (for all the hearing world) that opens the gates between two worlds and presents mankind with a heavy question all parents must ask themselves. See more 10/06/2014 Wildly articulate, intelligent and highly emotional without being volatile, this film gives voice to the options surrounding cochlear implants and it's threatening effect perceived by the deaf community. Wonderfully personal and intimate; profoundly, deeply moving, see vulnerable people open up about their experiences. On the DVD, see the extra 20 min of extra interviews which gives even more insight - an example of someone who rejected the implant, and another who had difficulty and yet embraced it. I also recommend finding the 2013-14 TEDtalk of Heather Artinian - the central little girl of the doc - who speaks about what she has learned since, and her brilliant philosophy she's developed bc of her experiences. Brilliant, illuminating, authentic and ultimately inspiring. 5 out of 5 See more 05/07/2013 Judge not, lest ye be judged... See more 04/10/2013 I loved this documentary. It goes into the life of two related families who are both trying to decide whether their children should receive a cochlear implant. One family has two hearing parents (the mom was brought up by two deaf parents) who have twins and find out that one of them is deaf. While the other family has two deaf parents who have a daughter who asks them if she can receive an implant. While the movie itself can get very frustrating because you're only seeing one family circle where all the parents are putting their wishes on their children, it is so emotional and thought-provoking. For me, it was the first time that I was exposed to this idea of deaf culture and the deaf community. I really enjoyed the amount of emotion that this movie conveys, and I just wish it could've spread out this story to cover more than just these two families.
