"When Troy Kotsur was awarded Best Supporting Actor at the recent Academy
Awards, he dedicated his win to the Deaf community. CODA went on to win Best
Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay, making it a major step forward for the
Academy’s recognition of marginalised storytelling.
CODA, an acronym for Child Of Deaf Adults, follows the story of teenager Ruby
Rossi. She dreams of being a singer, but is trapped by her Deaf family’s
dependence on her as their interpreter. Torn between her familial burdens and
her longing to fit into hearing culture, Ruby struggles to convince her family
to support her own goals."
