Name Me Lawand

Five-year-old Lawand has been profoundly Deaf since birth and unable to communicate with those around him. He and his family undertake a treacherous journey from Iraq to Derby, home of the Royal School for the Deaf, to find a new life – one that soon comes under threat when they face deportation. With a striking visual style, Edward Lovelace’s inspirational and touching documentary follows Lawand’s development from being voiceless to a voice representing others in the D/deaf community.
