In ‘My Life: Signing Off’ we meet ten year old Ben. Ben is no ordinary ten year old. Ben and his youngest sister are the only two hearing people in a deaf family, and with their parents, brothers and sister all being deaf, sign language is their first language.
Ben moves between two parallel worlds; a world full of noise, speech and music and a world that is silent, but in ‘My Life: Signing Off’ Ben tries to bring both of his worlds together – will he eventually come to terms with the dual identity he has struggled to accept and bring together the two worlds he has kept apart for so long?
