Short Film: 'Mr Deaf'
'Mr Deaf' is a short film in english subtitles that follows a day in the life of Mr Deaf goes to doctor.
It is about man with profoundly Deaf wear like old fashion suit to shows that the film is talking in past, he went on to say the medical receptionist failed to understand that he was Deaf... Suddenly, a verbally abusive by the receptionist discriminated him and told to get his mother for sign language interpreter, as a result of his mother was Deaf too. This all smacks discrimination including discrimination against Deaf individuals.
Enjoy watch the comedy video.
