Heres a transcript from their website:

[Image ID: screenshot from the DailyMoth.com. Its logo, a lightbulb with a moth on it, is in the top left corner. A transcript reads:

Did you know that the famous Greek philosopher Socrates who lived in the fifth century B.C. may have been the first person to write about sign language? He said, “Suppose that we had no voice or tongue, and wanted to indicate objects to one another, should we not, like the deaf and dumb, make signs with the hands, head and the rest of the body?”

I got this piece of history from this book.

[“The Deaf Community in America: History in the Making”]

The authors Melvia and Ronald Nomeland said the remarks by Socrates “illustrates that deaf people existed then…”

I just watched The Eight: Reindeer Monologues.

It is fully in ASL with English voice over and closed captions.

I thought the writing was great, the acting was phenomenal (idk about the voice acting. My computer was on mute), and the editing...but overall, it was a good show. It's not for everyone; it's a story about sexual assault. It explores the different way people respond to allegations: from active support and passive support, to dismissal and denial, to guilt and shame. I was hesitant to watch it because it was advertised as a dark comedy about sexual harassment, but I'm glad I did. I thought they handled the challenging themes well despite the inherent goofiness of the characters and settings they chose to tell their story with.
