There are certain scenarios that are very difficult to imagine. We might think we can imagine being deaf, but can we really put ourselves in a deaf person’s shoes? What It’s Like is a short film, starring Robin ‘Bino’ Gillon, a severely deaf skier.

Bino invites us into his world and explains what it’s like for him to ski as a deaf person.

His wit and charm are matched only by his smooth skiing. Bino explains how he has to use visual cues as his hearing affects his balance. A very impressive person, skier and movie.
