Our Bodies

“I think I would be so happy to have a Deaf child.”
CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) and filmmaker Bora Lee-Kil meets diverse members of the Deaf community and listens closely to their deeply embodied experiences—stories that have long gone unspoken or unheard. Through these personal narratives, Bora sheds light on new perspectives that challenge conventional ideas of disability, normalcy, and reproductive rights. With a warm and delicate gaze, Bora unveils the world of hands that speak—a vibrant, unseen realm shaped by movement, expression, and connection, where language transcends sound and identity thrives. This film invites viewers to rethink societal norms and embrace the rich culture and resilience within Deaf communities around the world.
