PROGRAM NOTE

 A civil rights sensitivity documentary that distinguishes between difference and discrimination.Member of the Haja Production School’s performance team, So-ra is hearing impaired. So-ra teaches his friends who have joined the performance team later than him how to play the instrument, and doesn’t hesitate to ask when he has trouble hearing clearly. His friends from the documentary and performance team think that So-ra is not much different from a typically hearing friend in terms of being able to perform and communicate. And they believe that this is the right non-discriminating attitude. However, they soon learn that not being discriminatory is not the same as getting rid of being different. The film’s narration, which is completed by So-ra and his friends, “You are different from me, and I am different from you,” becomes a touching harmony that documents the process of these individuals learning ways to communicate, listen, and slowly getting to know each other’s life and world.
