Three deaf YouTubers take on the challenge to perform at the UK's biggest deaf club night. Deaf rapper SignKid is their guide as they prepare for their big moment on stage.
Jazzy, Benny and Jessica find that hearing people make some seriously wrong assumptions about them: that they can't be deaf because they don't "look deaf"; that deaf people can't drive; and, one of the most annoying, that deaf people can't possibly appreciate music. That's completely wrong! And, with the help of deaf rapper SignKid, they're going to prove it.
SignKid has set them a challenge: to learn one of his tracks and perform it on stage at the UK's biggest deaf club night: Deaf Rave. Will they manage it?
Jessica, Benny and Jazzy take us into their lives. Jazzy and Benny have both grown up Deaf, and use British Sign Language (BSL) to communicate. They've give us a crash course in how BSL works - spoiler: it's not just English but with actions!
Jessica鈥檚 genetic disabilities caused her to become deaf as a teenager, and sometimes she feels a bit stuck between the hearing world and the deaf world. It's daunting for all of them to get up on stage, but together they're breaking down barriers and proving that they can do anything.
