What is the role of sound and what does it mean to listen? Hard of hearing filmmaker Alison O’Daniel uses a series of tuba thefts in Los Angeles high schools as a jumping-off point to explore these questions. Through several d/Deaf people telling stories in a unique game of telephone, the central mystery of The Tuba Thieves isn’t about theft of instruments; it’s about the nature of sound itself.
***** 5 STARS! "Highly Recommended.Editor’s Choice. For its daring experimentation and honest portrayal of deafness, The Tuba Thieves is a must-have for any library collection about disabilities."
