![]() ![]() ![]() The story takes place at the River Valley School for the Deaf-a boarding school located in Ohio. This story was equal parts coming-of-age but also provided plenty of education too. From the debate between the use of American Sign Language (ASL) and cochlear implants, the history behind Black American Sign Language (BASL) as well as the discrimination Black Deaf students have faced and much more. When I read that Reese selected a story focused on Deaf students, I was definitely curious to check it out. I know for a fact I have not read or watched a film focused on Deaf culture (I haven’t seen the Oscar winner CODA yet). ![]()
