My Song is the debut drama from C & B Films, a new production company headed by director William Mager and scriptwriter Charlie Swinbourne.

Starring Lara Steward, My Song is a coming of age story which follows Ellen, a young deaf girl stuck in the middle of the deaf and hearing worlds.

Feeling as if she doesn't fit in, Ellen learns sign language, attempting to enter the deaf world by taking part in a sign song competition in London. However Ellen is about to find her journey far more difficult than she first thought.

Funded by the British Sign Language Trust (BSLBT), who commission programmes in British Sign Language.

My Song is thought-provoking and reveals a hidden truth about the deaf community in Britain today.

The film premieres on the Community Channel and Film Four (on UK digital TV) on Monday 23rd May 2011. For full times, go to: http://bslbt.co.uk . It will be available in full online at http://www.bslbt.co.uk/programmes/
