Is this the only movie primarily about Deaf people?

I cannot seem to find any other movies under this genre, a movie starring deaf characters. Can anyone think of any others?

There is a film in 1985 titled "Love is Never Silent" about deaf parents (real ife deaf actors Ed Waterstreet played the father and Phyllis Frelinch played the mother) raising 2 hearing kids...the son died but the daughter (Mare Winningham) grew up, and the story goes from there about how a hearing woman's frustrations around her deaf parents.

This is a good movie -- it's on DVD. :)

Also, Amy is a movie about deaf children...not primarily deaf children, as there were blind children in the school as well.

There is an old Hallmark Hall of Fame movie called Love is Never Silent about deaf parents and their hearing daughter during the depression.
