Julian Peedle-Calloo takes us on a journey through the ages via archive footage, demonstrating the evolution of deaf representation on the silver screen. He examines deaf connections to the origins of film, the sense of equality found during the silent era, the decline of deaf acting and filmgoing in the wake of the 'talkies', the improving situation since the 1960s and the explosion of deaf talent in the 21st century.

Julian also explores how deaf British talent navigates the modern-day film industry through interviews with agents/consultants Deaf Talent Collective, actress Nadia Nadarajah and social media star Jazzy Whipps.
