A new series follows deaf and hard of hearing college students at Gallaudet University as they navigate gossip, relationships and identity
When Nyle DiMarco, an
Actor, model and disability rights activist, attended Gallaudet University, a liberal arts college for the deaf and hard of hearing in
Washington DC in the early 2010s, he often thought: this would be great television. Gossip, conflicting identities, a close-knit community – “I always felt like we really needed a reality TV show about the university – so many juicy things happen on campus,” DiMarco told the Guardian through an
American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter.
