It has the largest percentage of deaf people in the world yet, no hearing aids can be seen because in El-Sayed deafness is not a handicap. The tranquility of the village is interrupted by Salim El-Sayed's decision to change his deaf son's fate by inviting an Israeli doctor to give a Cochlear Implant Operation. This bionic implanted chip, that can make deaf people hear, is slowly reaching more secluded areas, even to El-Sayed which has neither paved roads nor electricity. "Voices from El-Sayed" is a unique and moving documentary offering intimate cinematic dialogue with El-Sayed's marvelous silent people and highlights Israel's innovative way to heal the world.
