The Tehuacan Project to be releasedon DVD March 20
While browsing the web I came across this website dedicated to this remarkable short film, which follows the lives of students at Casa Del Niño Sordo in Mexico. Upon reading the credits, I was surprised to find out that this 17 minute film was produced by Brad Pitt. Here is a brief synopsis:
The Casa Del Niño Sordo is Mexico's only school for deaf children. Located in Tehuacán, Puebla, the school was founded in 2001 to provide auditory, educational and emotional support for deaf children that would otherwise be unavailable. Many individuals, as well as service organizations, came together to make sure every child who needed help received not only hearing aids and education, but also a place to be accepted as they are today, and the opportunity for a brighter future tomorrow.
Young Lucia and Jesus, both deaf from preventable childhood disease, find their way to Tehuacán, Mexico where their dream for a life of sound might come true at Mexico's first school for the deaf.
The film is narrated by Adrien Brody and Esai Morales in both English and Spanish respectively. Andy Lauer, an Emmy nominated director, as at the helm and the movie also features music by Jackson Browne.(SOURCE)
