Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore
Showing with open captions and audio description.
A trailblazer in Hollywood, now Marlee Matlin gets to tell her story in full. Her legacy was cemented when she became the first Deaf actor to win an Academy Award for her starring role in Randa Haines’s Children of a Lesser God. Beyond her ground-breaking performance, however, Matlin’s fight for representation in the film and television community became paramount. In her filmmaking debut, director Shoshannah Stern shines a light on American Sign Language speakers who have continually sought space in cinema, a medium that rarely brings their work to the fore. Through candid and open dialogue, Matlin covers some of the difficult moments in her life while also unpacking the impact she has had in an industry that has made her carry the weight of an entire community.
