This is an interesting short documentary. Perhaps a bit unrealistic but well
worth the watch.
Greetings!
We are delighted to share that over the past three years, HKS is proud to have
partnered with filmmaker Doug Roland during the making of his short film,
Feeling Through, as well as the companion documentary, Connecting the Dots.
Feeling Through has now been nominated for the 2021 Academy Award for Best Live
Action Short Film! This film, for the first time in history, brings to the big
screen a person in an acting role who is DeafBlind.
Please take a moment to watch this inspiring film before the Academy Awards
this Sunday, April 25th at 8:00 pm EST: Feeling Through

"This thoughtful movie makes its point with more heart than dialogue." - The
New York Times
Oscar nominated film ‘Feeling Through’ is making history as the first casting
of a DeafBlind Actor in a lead role. The DeafBlind community is full of diverse
talent and capabilities, and the film emphasizes the importance of learning
that through the power of human connection.
