DCD's 'Deaf and Blind Triplets' Wins Cine Golden Eagle Award

Documentary Deaf and Blind Triplets, produced by DCD-owned September Films, has won the prestigious Cine Golden Eagle Award in the Science and Technology category.

Distributed by international sales company DCD Rights, this inspirational film produced for Discovery Health US explores the remarkable world of Zoe, Sophie and Emma Hooker - the world's only deaf and blind triplets. It examines how the family copes with daily challenges, and how the parents reach out to their children as they are completely cut off from the world.

The CINE Golden Eagle Award has been recognized as a mark of excellence throughout the film and television industry in the US and internationally for over 50 years. Held each Spring and Fall, the Award acknowledges high quality production in a variety of content categories for professional and independent filmmakers.

For members of the film and television industry, the CINE Golden Eagle Award is an acknowledgment of excellence and validation by their peers. CINE has a remarkable track record for the early recognition of excellence in filmmaking, particularly among new and emerging filmmakers. Many prominent members of the film and television industry have received the CINE Golden Eagle Award, and for some — such as Ken Burns and Steven Spielberg — it was their first major award.

Deaf and Blind Triplets is executive produced by Sheldon Lazarus for DCD-owned September Films.
