Deaf President Now!
Premieres on May 16
The story of the greatest civil rights movement most people have never heard of. The documentary recounts the eight days of historic protests held at Gallaudet University in 1988 after the school’s board of trustees appointed a hearing president over several very qualified deaf candidates. After a week of rallies, boycotts and protests, the students of Gallaudet University triumph as the hearing president resigns and beloved dean Dr. I. King Jordan becomes the university’s first deaf president. The protests marked a pivotal moment in civil rights history, with an impact that extended well beyond the Gallaudet campus, and paved the way for the Americans with Disabilities Act. The film also incorporates an experimental narrative approach called “Deaf Point Of View”, using impressionistic visual photography and intricate sound design to thrust the audience into the deaf experience.
