I am not sure if I have the right movie. But, is this the one with Mare Winningham, Phyllis Freilich and I believe Ed Waterstreet? She had to do all the interpreting for her parent's as there were no services, or any deaf devices at that time.
If I have the right one, that movie was a very good movie, it was so sad, and yet uplifting at times.
I guess a lot of us can relate to those days and times when our deaf parent's had to rely on their hearing children to help them out. This was so hard for them, because there was nothing in the way of any kind of deaf devices, agencies and communicational devices. Depending on their children to get them through the difficulty of understanding someone and something was a little oppressive for them, but, we all got through successfully in life.
I really enjoyed watching that movie, I hope this is the right one, because I was very impressed with Mare Winningham's signing ability.
