Our Second Home: Wellington Deaf Club

A 7-minute-long documentary filmed and produced by Jared Flitcoft, as part of a New Zealand Film and Television School project, in the early 2010s. The Wellington Deaf Club is a place where Deaf and hearing alike go to relax, take a break from the ‘outside’ world and communicate in a language that is loud. Jared Flitcroft explores why the Deaf Club is their second home and the cultural aspect of being Deaf in a ‘hearing’ world. There is no sound to give hearing people an experience what it is like to be Deaf for a few minutes.
