AUDISM - a five-minute video clip from an upcoming PBS Documentary

Browsing the web tonight, I came across this five-minute AUDISM clip which will be a part of the upcoming PBS Documentary “History Through Deaf Eyes” project. I think it’s really good, and if it is indicative at all of the quality of the documentary as a whole, we are in for a treat when it is released! The team that is putting together this documentary has already done quite a few well-received films, including these:

Lawrence R. Hott and Diane Garey documentaries

  1. That was a great clip, I enjoyed it - thanks for sharing the link. I had no idea PBS was going to have a two-hour show about Deaf history, that’s great! I can’t wait to see it. I assume they will add captions or voice over for hearing viewers for the Audism segment.

  2. Hey, not all deaf folk sign! I hope they caption it. Looked interesting from what I could tell…

  3. I agree about the captions!!
    Having a non-captioned clip shows that the clip isn’t accessible - to some hearing people. Not all hearing people who have deaf kids, siblings, etc sign fluently…

  4. Hi,

    Thanks for the mention of LightKitchen’s “Audism” video.

    I’m working on providing subtitles for the videos online.

  5. Hi, Rene - thanks for dropping by to comment. By my stats, over 1000 stopped by this page about your AUDISM clip yesterday. I don’t know how many of them went on to watch the clip itself, but i’m guessing it was a pretty good number. [do you have those stats?] Do let us know when the captions are done, it is a very good message for hearing people!
