The Silent Child | Oscar® Winning Short Film

I'm shocked... I thought this was some metaphorical thing about communication or how families work... You're telling me, parents really commonly behave like this?! What the hell...? 😮

I would’ve watched this movie if it was 2 hours long.

everyone has their own disabilities no matter how perfect you think you are so you better not gudge others for theirs

❤

in the movie libby (lambozini is her aussie name) has yellow hair but the parents are not yellow hairs and we see that the grandma said that libby (lizzo her aussie name) is a out of wedlock child she isnt one of those non cheated kids

More is so possible.

I am deaf as well but I got an Cochlear Implant and a hearing aid. My mother speaks a little sign language, she learned it for me. My father on the other hand didn't. He used to yell at me for ignoring him or something when I wasn't able to read his lips. My parents don't understand the diabilty of being deaf. I am in 11th grade now and it's very hard and I want to drop out, but my parents won't allow it.

As a deaf person, this touched my heart and I've cried a lot to see this.. What a good short film!
deaf crying

I've known many primary schools with provision for sign language and support for the deaf, so the statistics shown were shocking.

Maybe a miracle might happen in hope..say when she grow up in 40 years at least.. and she manages to say something..when she realises what strugges she had been through since birth..

adorooooo

Excellent actress the girl , I Loved Her !!!!!!!! ❤

I'm glad i never experienced anything like that

I'm not fully deaf, but I cannot distinguish sounds in noisy environments, I've had people ride bikes and scooters aggressively past me on sidewalks many times because I didn't "fu** move" out of their way. I've also had people be upset with me for "not paying attention" to what they are saying in noisy places like cafeterias and bars. Some people just aren't willing to event try to imagine the world from a different perspective than their own.

Im doing an assignment on this, whats her first sign?

Is that Mrs Herriot?

They only cared about whether Libby is doing good with lip reading or not, no one asked what Libby wanted to say.

Absolutely brilliant short film and acting. So many important messages to parents, schools and the wider community.
