Signs of Life (Captioned)

The Australian Deaf Community has been an unknown and misunderstood minority group for far too long. In this lively, informative video, the stereotypes are blown away. Here we see deaf people leading normal, purposeful lives, participating in a wide range of activities which their thriving community supports and talking about their lives with inspiring candour, insight and humour.
