The Deaf Shall Hear Even Written Words |
Two women in New York City are best friends. They do everything together, and share their most intimate thoughts. But there is one major difference. One of these women is deaf. Producer Jon Kalish brings us a rare glimpse into deaf culture (rare on the radio, indeed!) as he navigates some of the social, physical and religious issues in the lives of deaf friends and family in New York city.
