Fifteen-year-old Jamie lives with his peace activist mum in an army town in England, where they suffer prejudice due to their anti-war beliefs and activism.
THE LETTER follows the struggle of deaf people who fought back against Nazis’ oppression during World War Two. It tells the story of a deaf regiment of stormtroopers, and charts the rise of the Nazi-ruled social org for deaf people (Reich Union of the Deaf of Germany).
The story is based on true events with fictionalised characters. "Deaf people like the ones in ‘The Letter’ were really at the forefront of the Nazi euthanasia machine, Nazis were so ruthlessly efficient at exterminating deaf and disabled people that a lot of stories were lost.” Justin Edgar
THE LETTER was produced by Justin Edgar, who is hard of hearing, and directed by Sam Dore, with an entire cast and crew of deaf artists.
