My father, a man of engagement

Jacques Sangla is one of the pioneers of deaf rights advocacy in France. Like many deaf people of his generation, after growing up in an oralist environment, he belatedly became aware of the value of his deaf identity. His actions have helped give the community visibility in society and a better future. In addition, he was the first director of L'œil et la main.

Today, his daughter Audrey takes the camera to share the legacy he passed on to her. As she tells the intimate and professional story of her father, she bears witness to the impact of his struggles on the place of the deaf today.

The ordinary life of a singular man

Laurent is different. If he greets you, he'll say " Hello, hello, hello ". And when he agrees, he signs " I like it... I like it... I like it".

Laurent is 49, deaf, and has intellectual disabilities. He loves the solitude of his studio, but his world also includes educators, colleagues, and family members.

Let's share with him his daily life, his concerns and also his moments of joy.

A profession named desire

Quitting everything to change your life... Professional reconversion is as much a dream for many of us as it is a fear. 

But for the deaf, is the field of possibilities as vast as that of hearing people? Do they feel free to pursue a career that they really enjoy, and which is not necessarily adapted to the deaf?

Let's meet Ophélie, Christophe and Jérôme.
