In a world where voices often define power, Marlee Matlin has proven that strength doesn’t always need sound.
Coming to Netflix on June 20, 2025, “Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore” is a deeply personal and emotionally powerful documentary that sheds light on the extraordinary journey of a woman who defied expectations, broke barriers, and inspired millions — all without ever raising her voice.
🌟 Who Is Marlee Matlin? 
At just 21 years old, Marlee Matlin made history by becoming the first and only deaf performer to win an Academy Award, for her leading role in Children of a Lesser God. But her story didn’t start there — and it certainly didn’t end there either.
From a young girl growing up in Illinois to an outspoken advocate for accessibility and inclusion, Matlin’s life is a testament to perseverance, resilience, and grace.
🎥 Inside the Documentary
Directed by Rachel Grady, Not Alone Anymore offers an intimate look into Matlin’s personal life, professional struggles, and triumphs. Through never-before-seen archival footage, candid interviews with friends and family, and Matlin’s own heartfelt narration, this documentary explores what it truly means to live in a world not designed for you — and still make your mark.
More than a biography, the film is a reflection on identity, loneliness, and belonging. Even with fame, awards, and influence, Marlee reveals how she sometimes felt isolated — not because of her disability, but because the world didn’t always know how to include her.
💬 Raw, Honest, and Inspiring
There are scenes that will move you to tears, and moments that will make you pause and reflect. Matlin opens up about moments of self-doubt, the pressure to represent an entire community, and her fight for authentic representation in Hollywood.
But this is not a story about limitation — it’s a story of breaking through.
