Dummy

Has anyone got this film been searching for years cant seem to find it anywhere

At the time of pre-filming I was working at The Leeds Centre for Deaf People and we were visored by Franc Roddam and Geraldine James as part of their research. Recall being v impressed by the film and would love to see again. Does anyone have ideas about how to go about it?

I remember watching it when I was maybe 13 I was born in Bradford . Some of this movie was filmed in Sloan Square when my grandma use to live. I have been looking for this movies for years I now live in America i would love to get this movie. I am in my 50s now.

I am Lara Crooks, the baby in the film! Geraldine James who played as Deaf girl but she's hearing and I am actually Deaf myself! I have NEVER seen the film because I was too young obviously. I have been searching for years without much luck. If you know where I can obtain the video, please let me know! Thanks.

Franc Roddam's gritty ATV drama about an unfortunate deaf mute girl Sandra's (Geraldine James) sordid descent into prostitution and degradation remains no less powerful, seen today, than upon its initial broadcast. Intimately shot in depressed working class districts of Bradford, Dummy isn't an easy watch, yet the magnificent cast, and Geraldine James's bravura performance rigorously bring this harrowing, profoundly moving biography to unsettlingly vivid life. Watching Dummy again frequently made me feel monumentally sad, yet it maintains a dark fascination throughout. There can be little doubt that what befell Sandra was nothing less than a tragedy, it's an extraordinary story dramatized in a compassionate, yet credibly unsentimental fashion. Dummy is an exemplary, hard-hitting kitchen sink drama that doesn't shy away from the many distressing events in Sandra's frequently brutal, heart wrenchingly loveless life. The exceedingly fine text, wholly uncontrived performances and Roddam's superb filmmaking are truly inspirational, and a credit to the industry.
