CODA Pride

[@tonycastillo9817]

a good story for me is being in the rest room and running out of toilet paper, but not being able to tell anyone. everyone in the house is deaf.

[@trippypewpew420]

if you think of it. being Deaf or being CODA is probably a great excuse to get a phone at a young age 😂 especially considering you need to tell someone you’re out of toilet paper lol

[@alanolson6913]

I’m not CODA but hard of hearing (wear dual hearing aids) and I sign. My wife and kids don’t sign, they don’t have to since I can speak, but I truly enjoy signing with others when I can, it’s so natural.

[@sirpasuomela1714]

Hello from Finland! I'm CODA too and proud of it! I enjoyed this film very much! Thank you all!

[@heydibear1079]

My niece is CODA. My amazing deaf cousin and his wife did such an amazing job raising her. She’s now a young adult and thriving. Love this. ❤️

[@fachie79]

i am also proud to be a KODA ... Both my patients are Deaf i speak ASL and English .. I am trying to be come the voice of the deaf culture .. im enrolled in school to get certified for my asl to help my deaf comunity

[@xialiwu8897]

I felt so emotional after watching this video. I am deaf, my parents never would learn sign language for me.

[@vzeams]

thats so sad wtf

[@deco1970]

CODA here too! Great video!

[@Deia3Bina]

Hi, I'm a coda from Brazil. Thanks for the vídeo🤟❤

[@rachelb884]

Awesome movie big bro! Its awesome having you as my brother.

[@LesssIsMore]

I read about the award in the newspaper and wanted to see the video. Thanks for helping me understand the deaf community better. It looks like a great community to belong to. Congratulations on the video award. It was so well done and educational at the same time.

[@VitaLetum7334]

I'm a CODA and I'm proud

[@JADNCK]

What did you think of the movie CODA?

[@jacksonbusenbark8195]

Very nicely done video! My late Mom was a CODA and I have 2 CODA uncles as well, Bud and Cliff Poe (Albq and Seattle, respectively). I also have 2 KODA boys, 8 and 5 and will be sharing this with them. Thank you, Jacob Baer and everyone else.

[@CharlottesWeb27]

When I was younger my Mum always used to complain about her eggs not being cooked properly and wanted them replaced, and I HATED having to complain to the waitress, but if I didn't then my Mum would shout to get their attention and embarrass me more so I had to do it lol!!

[@tamragirvan2050]

Well done, Jacob. I didn't know anything about the CODA community and you did a great job of providing information in an interesting manner. You left me wanting to watch more. Beautiful documentary! Good luck in New York. You are a talented filmmaker! 

[@BreadLoeuf]

Being a CODA, I've been inspired to learn new languages. Becoming a Linguist, if you will, learning Welsh, Russian, Darija, and JavaScript. I honestly love this skit!

[@erniehahn1553]

Beautiful . . . just beautiful. Should make a strong impact upon those who are unfamiliar with the deaf world and have deaf children or relatives. Our kids are CODAs and they are fluent in ASL. Actually not only ASL but typical deaf people's body language while signing. AGBell . . . TAKE NOTICE! ASL is good!

[@stover14]

Yes, my friend is a CODA and whenever I'm over at his place I can still understand what his parents are saying a lot of the time even though I can't use ASL. Their body language is easy to read when they're using it and they'll often say something to me in ASL and my mate goes to translate for me and I go "Yep I know" and he just looks at me strangely.

[@winros]

Unfortunately in New Jersey there is not a big community of Deaf people! Being a CODA AND BLOCKING TO COMMUNICATE WITH MY COMMUNITY NOW I UNDERSTAND HOW MY PARENTS FELT! I LITERALLY LONG TO MEET DEAF PEOPLE SO I CAN SIGN! ANYWHERE FROM 2 TO 3 TIMES A WEEK I STILL PRACTICE AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE SO I DON'T LOSE MY LANGUAGE! 🤟✌️

[@deafsaba]

Classic!! First time to see this video! (Where have I been?? LOL) I showed it to my three 20-something children and they said it was so great!! Good job!!

[@TaoBear204]

Thank you for making this video. You have done a great job and helped to expand the CODA community. I totally understand what it means to live with two languages growing up - ENGLISH and ASL. I didn't realize how special that was. Thank you for sharing your stories.

[@donotusestewart2169]

Nice job, Jacob. Good messages and the execution of ASL is truly fascinating.

[@Militarymoneyman116]

i love the video, im now an ASL student at a local college, i enjoy learning the language because i have a good bit of hearing loss from afghanistan (but i am still able to hear), i dont know enough to sign perfectly but i dont really know any deaf people to practice signing with

[@Militarymoneyman116]

***** thats nice, born that way, injury, illness?

[@Paraparai]

Awesome!! I, Deaf mother, am extremely happy that you did make a film!! I definitely send this video to my KODA daughter's daycare, so the teachers and supervisor understand more better. I will carry this video to her schools in the future and share other parents of my daughter's friends. PERFECT and EXCELLENT example!! Fabulous!! Excellent job!!!

[@jerrytai5714]

It is a great documentary! I really hope to learn more because it is so great to celebrate diversity and, not to mention, to meet many more talented people with special powers. #makingconnections #codapride Thanks for sharing! (I am not CODA but I just watched the film and came to look for more info on KZbin) Keep spreading love!

[@stephaniehoward5666]

Love this! This makes me more proud to be who I am and more proud of the father I have. It feels great to see this shown to the world the unique and richly diverse experiences we as CODAs share. Not being raised calling myself a CODA, this delights my soul to see youth brought up in a better culture.

[@itsgoshjosh]

Wow! Such an AMAZING video! I'm deaf. I love this! This video needs a million-billion likes!!

[@NitramDre]

Very, very nice Jacob. A touching film with great editing. Really makes me want to learn sign language... Keep up your great work. Greets from switzerland to you and your family. :)

[@marlapetal2111]

Wondering how CODA experience (in N America) has changed over the past 4 decades since the Rehab Act of 1973... deaf adults so much more independent since professional interpreters required, TDD relay services, mobile technology... would be so interesting to compare and contrast these experiences...

[@weylinmm2338]

Wow I sign using Auslan ( Australian sign language) and I find ASL to be much faster and WAY more complex than Auslan, it's really cool

[@ZondaTheGoat]

Really awesome film! The first part gave a real power to the film, keep it up! :)

[@sharoncurulla6427]

WOW! Jacob, I am so proud of you! This is a wonderful film, so well done. And Rachel - great job telling your story :)

[@Rosariohdz07]

Awesome! I will keep this as I will show to my son when he get older. His is coda. Love it! Good job!

[@riotjohnson889]

Love how they all introducted themselves at the END, that was genius such a cool idea!

[@davidpaliza7]

hello. i am david, i am from peru and i am pround to be a coda. congratulations, maybe , if you have time, you could make a documentary with hispanic codas.

[@teesaheidari8175]

truly an amazing and eye-opening video that i will continue to share on to my friends & family! Well done Jacob! :)

[@michelleokamoto9664]

Wonderful Jacob! Everyone did such a fantastic job! Loved it!

[@kczmonkey03]

Aw, I recognize Julie and Joey from other ASL videos! Thanks for this beautiful documentary! :)

[@zeebrook]

Beautifully put-together video. I thought the explanation was first class. I would like to thank all those who participated and thank you for sharing with us a part of your world.

[@vivecahubbard6825]

This is a wonderfully well done video Jacob! Thank you for putting it together!

[@justinaubreyread]

Thank you for making this beautiful and heartfelt documentary. Keep it up! CODA Pride! :)

[@jarvisjackson39]

I love it I'm CODA as well nd when I'm around just to teach others ASL they feel amazed but it's nothing like a CODA Loving his/her Native Language which I use nd take pride in dearly....

[@ks-cf9mn]

What is a beautiful documentary video. I am deaf. 👏👏

[@simoshanny]

Very nice! Thank you for creating this film.

[@JADNCK]

Hey Jacob, what did you think of the movie CODA?

[@tegiansanti]

Awesome video, really enjoyed it. Good job, Jacob!

[@JoseCarlosFSouza-ow9zh]

I am Brazilian CODA with great pride!

[@21kitkatbar]

I wouldn't trade my life as a coda for anything else, i'm honored to be able to bridge both worlds of the hearing and deaf for my parents, myself and others.

[@arlenetrant5947]

Hi! I am a Maryknoll Sister missionary (hearing) working with the Deaf in Macau China, but I'm from San Jose. I was happy to discover that there is a CODA group set up in Hong Kong. Their founder is Cindy Chan, herself a CODA. She just sent me this KZbin that you made. It is GREAT! I am going to be stopping by for a quick home visit in early September. Might not be able to connect with you then, but I'd love to have some contact information about your CODA groups in the Bay Area. Thanks for whatever you can share.

[@StefanieDena]

Jacob, you have real talent (I wonder who passed on to you the love of film, wink) You have an awesome family and it really shows through in this project. Good luck in the Big Apple!

[@stonerkid42o]

Nice, I am a CODA as well. This is a cool video. Well done!

[@MillennialForChrist]

I began learning ASL start of 2020 (I'm a hearing teacher). This is a very cool video!! I have a deaf uncle & his wife in FL. I would like to improve in my beginner ASL in the near future as an additional language to English🙂

[@FallingGalaxy]

It's a great language to pick up, enriches your life and is definitely worth it.

[@MelCay3109]

That one guy sounds like Templeton from Charlotte's Web!

[@jamiefreeland2228]

Being a Coda is a blessing, it has helped me in more ways than I know. I see differences with Codas from the various decades. I have heard of a group of codas that meet, does anyone know the group’s name? Would be nice to meet more Codas who are proud of their culture.

[@FallingGalaxy]

hi, my name is David, i am from Peru (south america), i would like to know when will Coda International come to Latin America for sharing with Hispanic Coda´s? It will be awesome. Greetings from inka´s land.

[@dottymateo7805]

by far the best video ever

[@tianaslr6522]

I'm a CODA from Germany and I'm very proud! :-) i love the sign language

[@veroniquecastel9582]

What is everyone saying at the end when the parents walk in? Why wasn’t that captioned too?

[@ken.dietitian]

Does anyone know what Dante is signing after he spells his name at 8:25?

[@mikhael1203]

KendaKenda i believe it’s his nickname-sign

[@funnyvideos4life102]

I'm a coda too! And super proud to be one

[@sueboesen3434]

very nice video! If Janet is the daughter of the Maxwells I knew from teaching in Maine, I know her parents, Joe and Sally, who I believe are in Oregon now.

[@mrjoeybaer]

Sue - yes that's Maxwells you know! :) Joe and Sally resides in Oregon.

[@janetmaxwell9769]

Hi Sue, yes I am the daughter of Joe & Sally. Thanks for your message! Great video!!

[@kennyhack305]

Good video for all of us who are CODA's... Is there a facebook page for CODA's?

[@JGBproductions2010]

Yes there is! Here's a link: facebook.com/groups/CODAINTERNATIONAL

[@AdrianApollo]

Great job! Well done.

[@williamnabors2200]

Wonderfully done!

[@emilygeetee]

One time I told someone that my parents were deaf and they asked, "can they talk?"

[@dakotaglassmeyer4538]

i love my cultucure and wouldnt change it ever i love being a koda

[@Balthazar2242]

Deafness is literally a disability in a physical sense, but not in a mental sense. Deaf people are not disabled in terms of being able to live independently as fully functioning adults, but when I hear "Deafness is not a disability" I scratch my head, because...it _literally_ is. But I think it's just semantics; I see what they mean.

[@FallingGalaxy]

It's a unique 'disability' because the problem the Deaf community has with it being called a disability is that it invalidates and dismisses the rich language, culture, and understanding of the world that Deaf people have. It's more than just not being able to hear. There are perspectives that hearing people rarely ever know exist in life, that they have. I know it's different for every deaf person, but I have a friend who sees her being deaf as merely how you might see the difference between you and a dog, the dog can hear Earthquakes before they hit and you can't. It can run away from dangerous things it hears that you won't know about until they're upon you. Does that make you disabled? She considers herself Deaf as in part of the Deaf culture, and doesn't feel disabled at all.

[@Rosariohdz07]

I'm a CODA I know 3 languages

[@utopianislands]

This is a beautiful film!! so inspired and beautifully filmed

[@annezzell6792]

Very well-done video. I was surprised, though, that you didn't caption the signing / fingerspelling. The people who are likely to understand it are also likely to know about CODAs, yes? Maybe I'm missing the target audience for this video, but I would ASSume it's at least partially for non-signing hearing people. Anyway - even without the additional captioning, it's a great video. Congratulations!

[@rachelb884]

Ann Ezzell The reason we decided not to caption that part was to show their pride in knowing 2 languages, since they talked through the whole film, we wanted a part that showed purely their "deaf" side.

[@annezzell6792]

Thanks for the explanation, but I respectfully disagree with your logic there. By not captioning the signing/fingerspelling parts you're not only making part of the video inaccessible to non or inexperienced signers, you're also masking the richness of ASL. Just my opinion, of course. Again, congratulations on a great film.

[@rachelb884]

Ann Ezzell Yes, its just the same reason why we didn't caption the ending either, we wanted to show everyone's pure deaf side.

[@jennaw1893]

Anyone else go to KODA Camp?

[@gordoncraig4045]

Bravo Jacob! And the Baers! Nice to see you all, long time since my CSD days. All the best, gordon (ITV producer, is it still called that?:)

Gordon - oh gosh - it is so good to hear from you! Thank you for leaving a comment! ITV at CSD have changed to Digital Media but the course outline remains the same! Do come and visit us! :)

[@gordoncraig4045]

Joey Baer Thanks, Joey, love to come....I will contact you through Sandy in IT, probably in October, traveling a bit between now and then, all the best, gordon

[@rickstewart3584]

I am hearing person but know the abc signs. I have known a lot of hearing impaired people. I know for a fact that using sign language is the most expressive form of communication there is! Words are easy, signing takes effort and you need to express yourself when signing. Love you all!!!!

[@rickstewart3584]

Joey Baer Hey Joey. Did not know the term changed. In the mid-seventies, my ex was a teacher of deaf people and the term hearing impaired was the word used. It was the correct term then. Dang, so much changes with time. Take care....

[@rickstewart3584]

***** -- For the millionth time, yes. Time changes things, I get it people... Geesshh...

[@Louisearut]

Love this video!

[@deafpokerlover]

I kissfist this video. Deaf adults can provide lot of different example and expose to their hearing children. This video is rocked!

[@LosAnggraito]

Can someone tell me if CODA siblings usually speak or sign to one another? or does it depend on the family

[@D00m5day0]

Not usually, I'll sign with my siblings if my father or another deaf person is around to include them in the conversation, when I'm on the phone with someone, or if we need to say something we don't want someone to overhear. Other than those situations, we verbally speak to one another.

[@jennaw1893]

LosAnggraito well me and my sister like to sign when we are in front of other ppl and we don't want them to hear us 😂

It's actually pretty common for deaf parents to have hearing children. Also, my mom was born into a hearing family, so that increased the chances of my sisters and I being hearing.
