![]() One day Ruby tries out for the school choir where she realises she actually has a pretty great singing voice, good enough that she might even be able to get into Berklee College of Music and so she starts preparing for it, which in turn means she’s unable to help out her family. Because of this, she is constantly having to translate for, and work on the family fishing boat with, her father Frank ( Troy Kotsur) and brother Leo ( Daniel Durant) who manage the ship while her mother Jackie ( Marlee Matlin) handles the household. Now, speaking of Children of Deaf Adults, we have CODA which is a heartwarming dramedy about a deaf family with a hearing daughter who can also sing and it’s up for 3 Oscars this year… which is the only reason I would dare use Apple Plus to see it because damn that site will always annoy me.ĬODA tells the story of the Rossi family, focusing mainly on Ruby Rossi ( Emilia Jones) who is the only hearing member of her family. Films like A Quiet Place featured Millicent Simmonds who is a young deaf actress and Sound of Metal had Paul Raci, the hearing child of deaf adults. When stories about them have been told, often the deaf character is played by a non-deaf actor who isn’t even part of the community but recently we’ve seen that change and be openly praised. When it comes to the history of film, one of the groups that has been heavily underrepresented is the deaf community. ![]()
