Children of Lesser God

"Children of Lesser God" A 1986 film about a speech therapist and a deaf (I know, it's hard of hearing today but this was in the 80s so give me a break!!" girl and their relationship. 


I've been watching "Switched at Birth", an ABC Family TV series about two girls who's life were "Switched at Birth" and Marlee Martin is on this show. As Marlee was in a movie that really changed my life called "What the *&%$#* Do We Know?" I always liked her but it wasn't until I started following her on Twitter (@MarleeMatlin) that I found that she was an oscar winning Actress. 


I enjoyed watching the film. I somehow can relate to the story about hard of hearing people. I don't know, it could be because I also have a disability that puts me in a wheelchair or it could be because I understand how it feels to have people not understanding what you are trying to say because of the language barrier. But I was really impressed by the film and to think that it was over 25 years ago, the film is brilliant!! When cheesy lines are told through sign language, it somehow doesn't make me want to vomit... 


I can highly recommend this.
