Land of Silence and Darkness

An intimate observational documentary that bears witness to the profound isolation and resilience of deaf-blind individuals, grounded in the life and advocacy of one remarkable woman.

Through examining Fini Straubinger, an old woman who has been deaf and blind since her teens, and her work on behalf of other deaf-blind people, this film shows how the deaf-blind struggle to understand and accept a world from which they are almost wholly isolated.
