Re:Growth

Re:Growth presents a powerful exploration of how the hearing community has marginalized the Deaf community throughout history. It addresses various societal attempts to alter Deaf identity, including hearing aids, cochlear implants, and even gene splicing technology. Through these lenses, the film critiques the perception of Deaf individuals as undesirable, treating them instead as resilient beings capable of growth and beauty.

The film utilizes the metaphor of weeds to symbolize the strength and persistence of the Deaf community. This approach invites viewers to reconsider the implications of internalized oppression and the impact of isolation on Deaf individuals. By engaging with these themes, Re:Growth contributes to the ongoing discussion within the Deaf community about identity and belonging.
