Talking Mimes

I watched this without sound.

So I don't know what happened. But I fell in love with the curly haired caretaker lady.

Thank You

This experience combined with the workshop has changed my perspective and given me deeper insight into the treatment and experiences of disability I wouldn’t have otherwise had. Knowing it was based on real experiences made it tough in places, but I still enjoyed it and I’m grateful for the broadening of my understanding.

Great experience and resource!

This is a clear critique of the medical model of disability, as the central character’s real problem is the treatment they receive from others, not their disability. From small frustrations of agency, to life threatening gaps in carer education, this experience packs a lot of important information and emotion into the short narrative. After experiencing Talking Mimes my first thoughts were around its usefulness in educating everyone working with disabled people, but it is also a film that should just be experienced by everyone as it does such a good job of raising awareness of a spectrum of human experience that is not often represented. The VR aspect of the work increasing its impact significantly. Long story short this is a powerful piece of art and a powerful tool for creating/enhancing empathy, and consciousness raising.
