This is a sponsored post.

Dot’s Legacy is a new BSL Zone documentary which looks at the pioneering work of Dorothy “Dot” Miles, the Deaf poet, performer, writer and activist who died 25 years ago.

It is presented by Nadia Nadarajah, who was inspired to become an actress when she saw Dot on See Hear. Nadia sets out to find out more about Dot’s work and asks four Deaf poets and VV artists to sign her poems and explain how her work has influenced them. 

It is often said that Dot was ahead of her time and set the foundations of BSL poetry; watch this documentary to find out more about her ground-breaking work.  Featuring Paul Scott, John Wilson, Zoe McWhinney and David Sands.
