Synopsis

See What I Mean is a Shirley Horrocks' documentary about people with a hearing impairment and about those who identify as deaf. It tells the stories of a family who were all born deaf, and a journalist who began to lose her hearing in her twenties. It features footage of deaf community events including rugby, an education meeting and socialising at the Deaf Club. This was the documentary that first presented the idea of "Deaf Culture" on New Zealand television, relating it to protest activities by the American deaf community.
