In the Land of the Deaf
A.k.a. "Le Pays des Sourds". A quietly observational and at times magical documentary about a deaf community and the experience of deafness, as told by the deaf. The condition is presented as a positive experience and the film is full of stories. It will appeal to everyone who was charmed by Philibert's "To Be and To Have" ("Etre et Avoir").
