This video will help people understand what it is like to have a cochlear implant and its limitations. Recent developments in cochlear implant technology have improved and those who are implanted now are able to hear more accurately. However, an implant does not cure deafness. Every person who is implanted has a different experience with cochlear technology. Some benefit enormously from it while others do not.

In the picturesque Israeli Negev desert lays the Bedouin Village of El-Sayed. It has the largest percentage of deaf people in the world yet no hearing aids can be seen because in El-Sayed deafness is not a handicap. The tranquility of the village is interrupted by Salim El-Sayed's decision to change his deaf son's fate using the cochlear implant operation. This bionic implanted chip, that can make deaf people hear, is slowly reaching more secluded areas, even to El-Sayed which has neither paved roads nor electricity. Salim's decision is evoking great conflict in the village threatening the tradition of coexistence between deaf and hearing. A moving documentary.
