Nadima and Spirit of The Horse Fiddle, 23min., USA
Directed by Tserennadmid Chinbat
Seventeen-year-old Tserennadmid “Nadima” Chinbat has a name most people stumble over—and a story most people would never guess. Born in Mongolia and raised in the U.S., Nadima moves between worlds every day: Mongolian and American, deaf and hearing. With a cochlear implant that helps him connect to sound (even if it’s not perfect), he’s learned that being “different” isn’t a label—it’s a lived experience.
