Sundance 2025: Deaf President Now!

For eight days in 1988, Deaf students at Gallaudet University in Washington, DC, protested until the school appointed its first Deaf president, Dr. I. King Jordan. As evidenced in this documentary, the protests marked a pivotal moment in civil rights history and Deaf representation, with an impact that extended well beyond the university, and paved the way for the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
