Reunion: How ‘deaf rage’ and 70s thrillers inspired William Mager’s drama | BBC
“Every day, as a deaf person, you’re reminded of your deafness,” says William Mager, writer of new BBC thriller Reunion.
These reminders can range from having to face medical appointments with no available interpreter to being excluded from important decisions about your own life, he says.
“All those things add up over time and generate a sense of injustice,” Mager says, adding that artist Christine Sun Kim describes this feeling as “deaf rage”.
