Enthralling, Powerful, Passionate, Beautiful ...  I was totally transfixed by this wonderful film, thank you so much for sharing.
I have quite severe bilateral hearing loss and wear hearing aids.  I totally recognise ‘there’s no point, there’s just no point, nobody gets it’!  It’s just too hard.  
Loved it, absolutely loved it

Excellent. I am Hearing and am very poor at BSL. I felt the isolation of not understanding the signig scenes, in the same way Ellen was being alienated from the Hearing world.

As someone born severely deaf but brought up oral and also mocked by siblings not prepared to acknowledge my deafness, I really empathized with this story. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent video, very well set out, loved the story & of course, the message & I really felt comfortable & enjoyed this video! More please! 

i worry about all the children who are made to believe that speech is the only communication method that has value. I worry that they are between two worlds.
i haven't met anyone in the Deaf community who judges others in such a way when they are attempting to use BSL.
Thank you, as always a film that makes you think.

I think that there should be more deaf drama on tv because that,s gives deaf people the chance to show there skills in deaf world

Very interesting

Thank you for giving those of us a voice, being stuck between both worlds is torture.

beautiful and brilliant!!!

Oh I'm in tears, that was wonderful. As the only member of my family to learn sign for my Aunt who was born profoundly deaf this is both beautiful and heartbreaking. Thank you SO SO much oxoxoxo I'm sharing this with everyone I know.

Overly dramatic but I guess you have to be to make a point in 22 minutes. Since I can relate to this 10000000% it left me in tears for quite a while.

Powerful moving video. I was raised oral. I am in Canada. This says exactly how I feel.

Excellent very thought provoking I run a BSL Choir so will direct all my members to watch this.

This is beautiful, I was heartbroken to see at the end...she is trying her best to learn signs with song. I wish I hear the songs with every words but I can't, I am profound deaf :-)

This video was a great and it gives positive message for those deaf people who have the similar situations like Ellen. Never give up.

I thought that was really beautiful and is true to deaf life. I loved it. From Rachel

hello this is katrina from scotland i am born profoundly deaf i work with solar bear at glasgow for deaf youth theater for 5years and i enjoy watch this film and wow the end scene i agree with ben because i know lot deaf use oral not sign so they join deaf youth theater and they cant sign but we support young people to learn sign and visual and movement etc... and help them bulit up their confiden because not their fault because of school or family have reason and i love watch the film xx

I am not a deaf person nor signer. I saw this powerful, deeply moving short film on television and felt the need to watch it again. The human need to communicate is fundamental - we recognise and accept language and cultural differences, we are told we should not be prejudiced.... and yet we discriminate within our own cultures, against regional variation... and signing. When Gaz said "I thought you were normal", I choked - and when the BSL "expert" chose only to criticise rather than support, I recognised how we can all slip so easily into the "i'm right/my way or no way" way of thinking. "Man's inhumanity to man" seems to go on and on.... but why? Wouldn't it be less effort to just accept each other? As for Ellen, is she normal - of course. Is she perfect - of course not - just one more human being trying to find her way through life in as meaningful a way as possible. Thank you for making this film available on line. With my respect, from Robbie

Oh what a brilliant programme called My Song!!! I am sure there are many deaf people who can hear with their hearing aids and goes to mainstream school. No signings, only oral try to fit in a hearing world to be a hearing person and lipread all the time. I myself have experience that for many years and am glad that I have gave up the hearing world and to be part of the deaf world now as it does make a big difference to my life but I can communicate with hearing people which I am lucky. It give me so much confidence to express myself in my own language. I always want to be a singer and dancer and never achieve that but I can do signs songs. Even to this day, there are still deaf people struggle like this girl in the programme and let us put it to end but encourage every deaf people who are oral to signs.
