- Synopsis:
An intimate profile of trailblazing actress Marlee Matlin, who was thrust into the limelight in 1987 when she became the first Deaf actor - and youngest Best Actress nominee - to win an Academy Award. At the age of 21, Matlin made history with her Oscar-winning lead turn in 'Children of a Lesser God'. Nearly 40 years later, she looks back on the story of her life with disarming honesty, shedding light on landmark achievements and personal challenges: from struggles with language deprivation, domestic violence and drug addiction, to fighting for acceptance in both her own community and Hollywood. Director Shoshannah Stern also weaves in interviews from those who know her best, paying homage to a figure whose career has paved the way for a new generation of talent. The result is a frank and intimate reflection on the complex realities of being the 'first'. - Actors:
