What the Deaf Man Heard
"For twenty years, he lived in silence. Now his heart needs to speak the truth."
Synopsis
In 1945, a young boy arrives in a small Georgia town on a bus from which his mother was abducted and murdered. Alone he sits quietly and everyone becomes convinced that he is deaf and mute.
