“CODA signs a proud rallying cry for voices rarely seen on screen. Siân Heder’s powerful story of choosing life’s path resonates beyond the screen and into our hearts – a celebration of rising above challenges to create our own futures. Emilia Jones, Marlee Matlin, Troy Kotsur and Daniel Durant embody the bond between family, the determination to pave a new path to the American dream and the joy of finding your voice – spoken or unspoken.” -The American Film Institute, AFI AWARDS 2021
