The National Deaf Organization also liked the American film “Coda – The signs of the heart” which has just won three Oscars. The provincial section of Vercelli, with the president Salvatore Emma and the elderly councilor Raffaella Serchione, entrusted his considerations to the columns of La Stampa: “This film,” CODA “, in addition to telling an intense and moving story, manages to represent the deaf community is realistic, without any kind of pietism or sensationalism ». Even in reality, the group recalled, there are hearing children of deaf parents: in everyday life communication is difficult “and we hope that people watching the film can understand our reality”. «This award – they write – must be shared with the deaf community, the“ CODA ”(hearing children of deaf parents) and the community of people with disabilities: this is our moment. It also won the statuette for best film, the most coveted, bringing a unique visibility on deafness, deaf culture and sign languages and above all many prejudices and stereotypes about deaf people. We are happy that even the deaf can do everything ». In the meantime, a volunteer is being sought for the office in via Dante 93 for office activities such as telephone calls, secretariat and organization of various activities. Hours: Tuesday 9-11 and Thursday 15.30-17.30. The email is [email protected].
