Mark your calendars for the premier of the first comprehensive film on deaf history - Through Deaf Eyes, to be shown on the Public Broadcasting System (PBS), March 21, 2007. “Through Deaf Eyes” will be broadcast nationally at 9 p.m. ET (check local listings).

“Through Deaf Eyes” is a two-hour HDTV documentary for PBS exploring nearly 200 years of Deaf life in America. The film presents the shared experiences of American history - family life, education, work, and community connections - from the perspective of deaf citizens. Interviews include community leaders, historians, and deaf Americans with diverse views on language use, technology and identity. Bringing a Deaf cinematic lens to the film are six artistic works by Deaf media artists and filmmakers.

Outreach partners are the National Association of the Deaf, Gallaudet University, the National Technical Institute for the Deaf at Rochester Institute of Technology, and California State University-Northridge. As part of the outreach campaign, numerous local organizations, some in association with their public television stations, will mount events and discussions exploring the issues raised in the film.

The film was inspired by the exhibition History Through Deaf Eyes, curated by Jack R. Gannon at Gallaudet University. “Through Deaf Eyes” is a production of WETA Washington, D.C. and Florentine Films/Hott Productions in association with Gallaudet University. The producer is Emmy and Peabody Award winner Larry Hott. The editor is Diane Garey. The writer is Ken Chowder. The executive producers are Karen Kenton and Dalton Delan, WETA. The project director at Gallaudet is Jean Bergey. Senior advisor to the project is Harry G. Lang, professor in the Department of Research and Teacher Education, National Technical Institute for the Deaf at Rochester Institute of Technology, and the author of many books on deaf history.
