The Power in Our Hands PG
The Power in Our Hands is a film focused on the Deaf community in Britain - its history, community and its fight for civil rights - principally, the right to be heard. Containing newly digitised archive footage available to the public for the first time.
Combining social history and archive film with contemporary interviews, and released in the 125th anniversary year of the British Deaf Association, Power in Our Hands explores the secret history and heritage of the Deaf community in the UK.
The Power in Our Hands will be introduced by Samantha Allen, the Access & Inclusion (Heritage) Officer for the North/North-East, and will be available at the networking session in our café bar after the screening.
