Moonlight Sonata: Deafness in Three Movements

Irene Taylor Brodsky once more turns the camera on her family, documenting the gifts and challenges that come with being deaf. Jonas retains his hearing due to cochlear implants. Jonas is also a budding pianist. Jonas’s grandparents, Paul and Sally Taylor, who are both deaf, help Jonas, all the while facing their own new trials as age takes its toll. What emerges is an incredibly moving and loving portrait of generations both separated and united through the ability to hear. (nwfilm.org)
