The Only Interpreter
Share:
Jhon says out loud what others say with their hands.
Although officially Jhon is a bodyguard in the Colombian Prosecutor’s Office, in reality he’s that institution’s only sign language interpreter. For almost 30 years, he’s worked on cases throughout the country, but one of them in particular changed him: it began with a deaf man who came to ask for money at a house in Medellin.
