In 1987, Marlee Matlin made history as the first Deaf actor to win an Academy Award® at just 21 years old. Thrust into the spotlight, she forged a groundbreaking career while challenging an industry unprepared for her talent. Spanning acclaimed roles from The West Wing to the Oscar®‑winning CODA, the film traces Matlin’s personal and professional journey — from early fame and hardship to sobriety, resilience, and lasting impact. Directed by Shoshannah Stern, the documentary centres ASL, open captions, and innovative visual storytelling to offer an intimate portrait of Matlin’s legacy and her enduring fight for inclusion and representation.
