Siren: The Voices of Shelley Beattie

Overview

While searching the internet one day, Hollywood veteran Marlee Matlin came upon the story of athlete Shelley Beattie - a fellow deaf woman whose life felt eerily like her own. Both women had experienced adventure and fame, but also discrimination, abuse, and addiction while navigating a hearing world. Acclaimed documentary filmmaker Irene Taylor explores the parallels between the two legendary women in a haunting portrait of strength, beauty, and resiliency.
