The Best Picture Oscar winning film CODA is streaming now on Apple TV+. In the movie, Ruby is the only hearing member of her family, and struggles with a choice of furthering her passion for music or staying to help her family’s fishing business. Here’s how to watch.
CODA stands for child of deaf adults. In the movie, the protagonist Ruby (played by Emilia Jones) is a CODA, and in fact she is the only hearing member of her family. All deaf roles in the film are played by deaf actors, including newly-awarded Oscar winner Troy Kotsur, Daniel Durant, and Marlee Matlin.
Ruby serves as the interpreter for the family, and helps out with the family’s fishing business on mornings before school. She loves her family and feels like they need her. However, she is also torn with a burgeoning passion for singing and she wants to go to music school at Berkeley university. CODA also highlights the society stigmas and realities of living as a deaf person in modern society, with the boating regulators threatening to shut down their business if a hearing person is not brought onboard.
The film is an English remake of French film La Famille Bélier, adapted to the screen by writer and director Sian Heder. In addition to Best Picture, Heder also won at the Oscars today for Best Adapted Screenplay.
