The Sound Barrier (2015x5)

: 14, 2015

With access to the Cochlear Implant Unit of Dublin's Beaumont hospital, this film documents a journey from a world of total silence to one filled with sound. Filmed over nine months, cameras follow Dr Laura Viani and four of her patients as they receive electronic surgical implants which they hope will profoundly change their lives, including Richard Cantwell from Dublin, whose progressive hearing loss has robbed him of his lifetime passion for music.
