DVD: "A Bridge Between Silence and Sound"

A Bridge Between Silence and Sound is a documentary that weaves a tapestry of personal stories of deaf and deaf-blind individuals affected by hearing loss and the cochlear implant. Some live with frustration, some with resignation, and still others celebrate their deaf culture and community. This documentary, narrated by Mario Cuomo and produced, written, and directed by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Ron Rudaitis explores the somewhat controversial technology called the Cochlear Implant, a device that gives the deaf and hard of hearing the ability to hear sound.
