Deaf President Now!: Inside the Historic Student Movement at Gallaudet University
Produced by EC partner Concordia Studio and directed by Davis Guggenheim and Nyle DiMarco, Deaf President Now! is a riveting account of the historic protests at Gallaudet University in 1988 after the school’s board of trustees appointed a hearing president over several very qualified Deaf candidates. The impact of the protests went far beyond the Gallaudet campus, paving the way for the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
