Home, South Africa’s first ‘deaf movie’ — a 60 minute feature film performed by deaf actors using sign language — is launching nationwide this weekend.
A contemporary adaptation of the Biblical story, The Prodigal Son, the film is being screened at churches throughout South Africa from Friday, May 24 to Sunday, May 26.
Created by CVC Media in association with Hands With Words, the film, starring Christopher Gallada, Richard Kunene and Simphiwe Mgudlwa, is sub-titled, providing a rare opportunity for deaf and hearing people to watch and enjoy a movie together.
Confirmed screening venues and times, according to the movie’s Facebook event page, are:
