SuperDeafy, a deaf actor who plays a superhero, must reveal the man behind the cape to find true love and inspire eight-year-old Jacob, a young deaf boy, to believe in himself. The movie follows the evolution of this unique hero. A beloved character and role model, SuperDeafy has a worldwide following. But as SuperDeafy seeks to redefine himself in the entertainment industry, he also influences Jacob to redefine what "being normal" means and to find the courage to stand up to a school bully. The cast includes: Oscar winner Marlee Matlin, Shoshannah Stern, Ryan Lane, and John Maucere. This film marks the first time in cinematic history that a Screen Actors Guild (SAG) commercial feature film was produced exclusively by deaf executive producers and directed by a deaf director.
This is a great movie to show my students about Deaf culture and society

This family movie teaches ASL, but more importantly, it exposes students to experiences, challenges, opportunities, and values associated with Deaf culture.

This film is a teacher favorite of mine because it gives students insight to so many aspects of Deaf culture, members of the Deaf community, school setting, Deaf norms and it's a feel good film filled with our favorite Deaf celebs/role models.

An excellent show that demonstrates how to combat bullying in a healthy and realistic way. This movie shows that all persons can be in charge of their own success as well as happiness in life. An excellent theme and positive spotlight on the Deaf culture for all to become more aware.

This was an awesome title to watch. SuperDeafy is a hero, but he doesn't have super strength or laser eyes. He's a hero in his own right and that made it very memorable to watch.

I teach ASL to hearing students, in a therapeutic Middle / High school. My students are autistic, have ADHD, are ED, or have behavioral disabilities. This is the 4th year that I have incorporated "No Ordinary Hero: The SuperDeafy Movie" into my curriculum. Each year, all of the students express a great deal of empathy for and interest in the Deaf community. They express support for Jacob's character and dismay at his father, initially, denying him the opportunity to be educated in an ASL classroom and were relieved when Jacob's father became educated on the subject of Deaf education, allowing him to be placed in the ASL classroom. I find that no matter the age of the student or their background, students respond very well to "No Ordinary Hero: The SuperDeafy Movie." It is a valuable educational tool in my ASL classroom as it educates my students with regard to many aspects of Deaf culture and the importance of ASL communication in the education of Deaf children. (The earlier the better.) Perhaps more importantly, it educates my students on the importance of the ADA, acceptance and support of others, and the horrors of bullying. Thank you for carrying this content and for accepting my membership so that I can continue to incorporate such resources into my curriculum and to share them with my students.

Excellent movie!!! Does a really good job at showing what people go through and how they feel. It is so important to be kind, empathetic and respectful. We are all different and special but that does not make one person better or more normal than another.
