Silent Memoirs- Life Stories from the Deaf

This new web series can be seen exclusively on www.oicmovies.com

SILENT MEMOIRS is series of documentary style webisodes focusing on the education of the Deaf community, as told by members of that community. How the Deaf are taught, whether to mainstream them with hearing students or in Deaf schools, continues to be a charged debate even today. Historically, the community has been marginalized and denied access to education. Produced by OIC Movies editor and on-camera talent Mary Luczki, SILENT MEMOIRS will reach both Deaf and hearing audiences. All interviews will be conducted in American Sign Language and captioned on the OIC Movies website. The collection of the interviews is a collaborative effort between OIC Movies and One of Us Films.

@ASLGIRLKIKA Welcome to YouTube! There is some great stuff on here like this! What are you looking for?

[Podsmiths]

@JessicaaHughes Do you speak ASL?

[Podsmiths]

This is great! Was there only this one episode?

[JessicaaHughes]

I can't hear anything.

For hearing people or any others who do not use ASL, there is a captions button that has active captions on the bottom of the video. Look next to the button that changes the video from 360p quality to 240, 480, 720, 1080, that button. it is just to the left and says "CC" meaning closed captions.

I don't know ASL, but I'd like to watch these memoirs and have them mean something. Can you at least put captions?
