Short film (2019). Two Deaf travellers discover three different countries, exploring their cultures and national identities.

They will identify communication issues and access barriers; they desire to travel beyond their comfort zones and to be able to tackle any travelling issues they encounter.  Made by Raabia Hussain and William Horsefield, working with David Ellington and Louis Neethling.
