One film out this week that could move the dial yet further is Coda, a coming-of-age indie movie that was the big talking point of this year's Sundance Film Festival and was picked up for worldwide distribution by Apple TV+ in a record $25m coup. The film centres on Emilia Jones' Ruby, the only hearing person in a deaf family who live in Massachusetts on the US East coast. They're humble fishers, making modest cash from the sea, but because they don't have enough money for a sign language interpreter, and the societal infrastructure around them is built with the hearing world in mind, they rely on Ruby to get by. Therein lies the conflict: she aspires to escape her small-town shackles to Boston, where she wants to pursue a singing degree, but she is bound by the ties of familial loyalty.
