      i enjoyed it very much and i think and hope it helped the hearing community to understand Deaf people better... I was not too crazy about the part of oral deaf and implanted people though..IMO and by deirect experience oral Deaf people are seen as successful and btter integrated whereas Signing Deaf who do not speak by choice or by impossibility or who say that lip readingf is not their pick, are still ostracised by hearings and that was not really mentionned.
