What I’m Saying; it was filled with new insights about deaf culture and people. This movie follows the life of TL Forsber‚ singer; Bob Hiltermann‚ drummer; Robert DeMayo‚ actor; and CJ Jones‚ A Deaf Icon.

Despite what is commonly believed by hearing people who do not understand deaf culture‚ most deaf children are born to hearing parents. It can be challenging to raise a deaf child‚ as a hearing parent. One major decision on a parent’s plate for their deaf child is the choice of a residential or oral school to enroll their child in.
