“You shall hear“ – Behind the scenes

Approach each other more! Look away less! Our television film and heartfelt project “You shall hear” was filmed last June and is primarily intended to promote togetherness between deaf and hearing people in our society as well as to contribute to a constructive debate about inclusion. The film shows: What is life like for people who can hear poorly or not at all? And addresses the question of who decides which way of life is more worth living.

The openness and warmth with which all participants were welcomed by the deaf culture not only made this production a special and unique experience, but we were also able to learn a lot from each other!

With our “Behind the scenes” pictures we would like to give you a small insight into the shooting of this formative project.

Inspired by a true incident, the film tells the following story: click to go to the synopsis
