As part of the schools screening programme, the Filmhouse in Edinburgh is holding a special screening of Sorda/Deaf.
Angela's deafness raises concerns during her pregnancy regarding connecting with her daughter. Post-delivery, partner Héctor supports her as she learns to mother in a society lacking adequate accommodations for the hearing-impaired.
A powerful opportunity to explore inclusion, communication and diversity through cinema. This award-winning film has received international acclaim, including major prizes at the Berlin and Málaga Film Festivals.
