SOUND
AND FURY documents one family's struggle over whether
or not to provide two deaf children with cochlear implants,
devices that can stimulate hearing. As the Artinians of
Long Island, New York debate what is the right choice
for the two deaf cousins, Heather, 6, and Peter, 1 1/2,
viewers are introduced to one of the most controversial
issues affecting the deaf community today. Cochlear implants
may provide easier access to the hearing world, but what
do the devices mean for a person's sense of identity with
deaf culture? Can durable bridges be built between the
deaf and hearing worlds? Find out.
SOUND AND FURY was a 2001 Academy Award nominee for Best Documentary Feature.
