The war on sign language began as a war on love.
In 1816, Deaf pioneer Laurent Clerc arrives in America from France: ambitious, brilliant and determined to prove that he can stand as an equal in a hearing world.
Together with the young Reverend Thomas Gallaudet, Clerc sets out to build something extraordinary: a school where Deaf children can learn, communicate and imagine a future beyond isolation. But when Clerc falls in love and announces his intention to marry a Deaf woman, the life he has built is thrown into crisis.
The school’s future is at stake. Clerc must choose between the institution he has devoted his life to and the future he has begun to imagine for himself.
