For a Deaf Son


“For a Deaf Son,” produced by Rob Tranchin – the father of a deaf son – offers an intimate look at the decisions that must be made by parents when a deaf child is born into a hearing family. The documentary features a touching selection of home videos taped by the Tranchins before and after they learned that their son, Thomas, was deaf, as well as interviews with deafness experts. The result is an unprecedented and intimate look at a situation faced every year by thousands of families.
