I know that. I made this film because I know that I want to break down those barriers. I dont want people to pity the hearing-impaired. I want them to empathize. You see, people judge because they just dont understand. Theres a reason why deafness is referred as the hidden disability. It could be anyone. It could be your neighbor, your friend, even your grandmother. Theres no stereotypes of a deaf person. Theres no particular way that they act, or do things. Everyone is an individual. Everyone is different. - Faith Wilkinson Slide 12 Contact Details Faith Wilkinson Honey Pot Cottage Back Lane Duddon CW6 0EY 01829 781194 faithwilkinson123@yahoo.co.uk
