A&E will premiere a new TV documentary special “Deaf Out Loud” on Wednesday, September 5th at 10pm PT/ET.
Academy Award-winner Marlee Matlin is executive producer of TV program which follows three predominantly deaf families as they raise their children in a hearing world.
With many differing opinions about how deaf children should be raised swirling in the social consciousness, these families work to forge their own paths forward and combat the daily social stigmas many deaf people face.
In a June 19 posting on Facebook, actress Marlee Matlin said “I’m proud to announce that “Deaf Out Loud” a documentary pilot I produced with Bunim/Murray about three different deaf families premiers on A&E on September 5 after the finale of Born This Way.
“The more people watch, the more we can help A&E realize that the pilot should become a SERIES!”
Matlin’s right hand person, Jack Jason also serves as executive producer along with Jacob Lane as co-executive producer. Executive producers for A&E Network are Elaine Frontain Bryant, Shelly Tatro, and Jeana Dill.
