The Letter
Synopsis
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.
