The Gift Of Hearing
Uplifting documentary following Jo Milne and an old school friend, who are on a mission to help deaf children from Bangladesh.
A shaky video of Jo Milne hearing for the first time after she was fitted with hearing implants became an internet sensation, and reunited her with an old school friend from Bangladesh. Together, the two women embark on a mission to help deaf children from Bangladesh, many of whom can never hope to have access to hearing aids. With the support of some unlikely backers in the shape of 70s pop icons the Osmond Brothers, this is the uplifting story of how hundreds of young lives have been changed as children hear for the very first time.
