What they say about Silent Odyssey

“Silent Odyssey captures the cry of the Deaf soul through an intricate tapestry of image, sound and color – indeed a poetic documentary that only Miranamedina can create.”

PROF. THERESE BUSTOS, Special Education Area, University of the Philippines, Diliman

“I have to admit that many issues tackled in the film were new to me. So, in that sense, the film has accomplished its purpose on introducing what is happening in the Deaf community in the Philippines…”

JUNKICHI FUJIOKA, Reporter, Manila Shimbun

“Silent Odyssey is simply unbelievable in its quality and unmatched expressiveness in outlining the life, struggles of the Deaf and the Deaf history in the Philippines. Mirana Medina’s excellent film will capture the hearts of every movie watcher and celebrates the expressiveness of language without a voice.”

RAPHAEL TORRALBA, Journalist, WITHNEWS

“Silent Odyssey shows who Deaf people are and what they want.”

ANA KRISTINA ARCE (Deaf), President, Benildean Deaf Association
