Stephen - curious if you saw/what you thought of Deaf President Now, on Apple+, about the Gallaudet University student protests in the late 80s? It didn't do anything groundbreaking to the documentary form, but I thought it was incredibly powerful and moving; really striking in its use of sound and silence to mirror the subject matter.
I did see it, although I enjoyed the Marlee Matlin documentary — also about deaf identity politics in the same period, also featuring the same Nightline segment, and which I saw at the same film festival - a bit more.
