FREMONT — The movie that garnered top honors Sunday at the 2022 Academy Awards is breaking down barriers for deaf families in the Bay Area.
CODA, an acronym for Children of Deaf Adults, was a window into the lives of a family in Gloucester, Massachusetts, their struggles in the fishing industry and their hearing daughter’s desire to leave the home to study music in college. “I think it’s a big step forward. And I think it brings a lot of value in the sense that there’s exposure now. There is a lot of value to be seen and heard, and more understanding now, I think,” said Call.
“That was a nice recognition, and kind of honoring our culture,” said Laura Petersen, Outreach Family Educator at CSD.
