The film is about Gallaudet University in Washington, DC , which was founded in February 1857 as the "Columbia Institution for the Deaf and Dumb and the Blind" by Amos Kendall , then Minister of Post. As director, Kendall appointed Edward Miner Gallaudet , then 20 , son of United States co-founder of education for the deaf, Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet , as director. After the institution was allowed to set up a college level with the corresponding diplomas by a federal law drawn up by Abraham Lincoln , it was called "National Deaf-Mute College" until it was changed in 1894 to "Gallaudet University". It is the first university for deaf and hard of hearing students and the only one that has tailored its program and services specifically for this group of students.
The students are shown during class and in their free time. Your everyday life is not that different from that of other students. Sports activities, dancing and singing are also popular with them. It's just a different kind of tuition they receive that takes their disabilities into account.
