Director Statement

Voice of the Silence is an attempt to break the perception of disability. I focus on hearing impairment and disability rights in general. The film revolves around understanding how I negotiate the world around me. I have referred to my hearing disability as a fact that disabled people anywhere are involved in a struggle for choice of language. I believe that lip reading can also be a beautiful way of communicating. For a person who is aware of varied sounds, vibrations and body movements, it helps me in creating a language of my own. I listen to the eyes and hear the lips.
