An amazing mini documentary which recently aired on UK Channel 4’s Unreported World shows a whole new world opening up to a deaf boy who never learned sign language.

Reporter, Kiki King, and Director, Daniel Bogado, visited Uganda where the work of inspirational sign language teachers is transforming the lives of profoundly deaf children and adults across the country who have never been able to communicate – until now.
