ReelAbilities Houston will host a discussion around We Hear You, a one-hour documentary about hearing loss, the invisible disability that impacts 430 million people worldwide. By shining a light on the hearing loss experience, it strives to build awareness, community and a more inclusive world for all. Hearing loss is not always accurately represented in mainstream media. Of the 48 million Americans who have trouble hearing, less than 5 percent use sign language as their primary form of communication. Yet sign language is the lived experience that is most often portrayed on the large and small screen. Until now.
