Frequently, there is no audio to coincide with the video of the children interacting with the Bobo doll, which was confusing and awkward to viewers. In addition to this, Dr. Bandura does not…

Through Deaf Eyes was an extremely enlightening documentary about deaf life in America. The film begins with the question, what do you think it would be like being a deaf person? They explain that, whenever you ask a hearing person this question they respond with a lot of “can’ts”. I can’t, I can’t I can’t.
