Deaf United

An immersive, experiential single film that takes the viewer into the world of the deaf. It's a world with its own unique humour and banter, language (deaf people pride themselves on being a linguistic minority) and culture. The film follows deaf people having animated conversations in the street, on the bus or in the supermarket, but viewers are always outsiders to their conversations. The film introduces a cast of memorable characters through the hub of St John's Deaf Club in North London. St John's is one of the oldest running deaf clubs in the country - more than 100 years old. We meet young and old as they invite us in to share some of the milestone moments in their unique world that is - for the main part - silent.
