Deaf President Now! (not rated yet)
Thursday 15 May, 7pm
English with descriptive subtitles
Deaf Action’s BSL Film Club presents an exclusive preview of Deaf President Now! The story of the greatest civil rights movement most people have never heard of. “Deaf President Now!” recounts the eight days of historic protests held at Gallaudet University in 1988 after the school’s board of trustees appointed a hearing president over several very qualified Deaf candidates.
Accessibility
Our venue is wheelchair accessible. There is a platform lift at the front door for wheelchair users to access the building. There is a lift from the ground floor to the Blackwood Bar area, accessible on the left upon entry to the venue. Accessible toilets can be found on the first floor also.
All films will be shown with descriptive subtitles.
While this is a BSL film club, all audiences with varying sign language fluency are welcome.
Please note, there will be no BSL/English Interpreters provision.
