This concise and informative documentary needs only six minutes to deliver a thought-provoking message regarding health equality for the Deaf community. The film is tied to Deaf Diabetes Can Together, a part of the Intensive Diabetes Education and Support (IDEAS) Program at the University of Utah.
Academy Award-winning Director Ross Kauffman and his team explain that the purpose behind New Narratives of Health Access: The Language of Care is to improve healthcare practices for the Deaf community and, ultimately, "transform life challenges into hope and beauty."
Something as routine as a diabetic person's appointment with a physician can become an insurmountable barrier to care if an inappropriate standard is employed. This film will make a difference when influential people hear the message.
