Wednesday, May 20, 2015
5:00-7:00PM
Disability Resource Center
Documentary and discussion on disabilities, culture, and immigration experience
Making Noise in Silence is a short documentary that explores the richness and complexities of Deaf culture from the perspective of two Korean high school students who attend the California School for the Deaf, Fremont. Born and raised in South Korea, Jeongin Mun and Min Wook Cho have strong ties to their Korean heritage and learned Korean as their first language. However, what separates Jeongin and Min Wook from most children of immigrant families is that they are also deaf. When their families moved to the United States , their deafness automatically put them into an entirely separate cultural group with its own language, customs, and history.
