Behind the scenes.  Made for BSLBT by Thomas Giddens.  This short film looks at our two programmes about the late Deaf poetry pioneer and activist, Dorothy "Dot" Miles - the documentary, Dot's Legacy, and the docu-drama, Dot.  It explains how they are different and how they were made.  There are interviews with producer/director, Cathy Heffernan, plus Jean St Clair and Jovita Bodamer-Macgregor, two of the three actresses who play Dot at different stages of her life.

You can watch Dot's Legacy and Dot here.
