About this work

Description

The second episode focuses on the consequences of Amelia's confession to her uncle that she witnessed the murder. Relationships between the characters become increasingly strained. Unfortunately, in identifying one of the perpetrators, she leads her uncle to realise that there is a conspiracy in the drugs squad. Her uncle is professionally compromised by shielding Amelia. As a deaf child Amelia has been protected by her parents and she increasingly enjoys the company of her teenage cousins who we later understand are a-typical - they smoke, drink and take drugs. Amelia gets drawn in to keeping more secrets. When the missing implant is found, Amelia realises that her identity has been discovered.

Notes

Broadcast on 13th July, 2010.
This superior drama in four parts has high production values, sensitively and comprehensively explores the social and ethical implications of cochlear implants by focusing on the impact they have on the lead character and those around her. The scientific story is fundamental to the story line whilst at the same time not dominating the script or moving the drama into the realms of worthy'.
