Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore

96 minutes • 2025

Marlee Matlin became a pioneer when she won an Oscar as a deaf person for her leading role in Children of a Lesser God. But the success was followed by years of loneliness and exclusion in an industry that long lacked space for deviations and different voices. Not Alone Anymore is her own story – a frank and moving portrayal of vulnerability, breakthroughs and a lifelong fight for representation, inclusion and change in the world of film. Through personal reflections and archival footage, the documentary highlights both obstacles and progress in the pursuit of justice for deaf people and other marginalized groups.
