Ten Angry Deaf People

Five men chained to a woman. Ten people making a jailbreak. The networks are trying way too hard to think of clever twists on the reality genre. What would we at Soundbitten produce, if someone finally acknowledged our programming genius and let us make shows? Ten Angry Deaf People. Think about it. The biggest weakness of the reality genre is all the boring talk. But with deaf people, there is no talking, just lots of mysterious and dramatic gestures. And when have you ever seen ten deaf people together at the same time? And all of them mad at each other? Once, many years ago, we saw just three deaf people arguing in a restaurant and it was one of the most compelling spectacles we've ever seen. We're telling you, Mr. Sassa: Ten Angry Deaf People.
