Justin Nozuka – Save Him (ASL)

Posted byaslsign 25 Comments on Justin Nozuka – Save Him (ASL)


(Interpretation starts at 1:00) I saw the gut-wrenching results of a really nasty domestic violence case while I was working in one of the communities I regularly visit. I couldn’t seem to shake away the lingering negativity of my day, so when I got home I decided to ‘terp this song as way to finish the episode and move on — while feeling like I was doing something positive. ————————– Deaf Abused Women’s Network www.deafdawn.org Address: c/o DAWN 1050 17th St. NW #600 Washington, DC (202) 861-0258 (TTY) 9 AM to 5 PM (202) 466-3226 (Fax) Video-Phone (202) 223-7959 24-HOUR HOTLINE hotline@deafdawn.org ———————————– www.ndvh.org National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or TTY 1-800-787-3224.

  1. It is amazing that you took the time to do something that really should be recognized and in such a way so that everyone understands 🙂 You are amazing.

  4. Very powerful interpretation and message. I recommend the book, The Gift of Fear by Gavin de Becker.

  6. Hey, everyone watching this, think about donating some money to Deafhope, a nonprofit created to help prevent Deaf women and family members from domestic violence.

  7. I love this video… I just had to watch it again!

  11. Powerful. It’s hard to see the violence first hand. I believe you have brought the reality of this violence to people who might never have thought about it otherwise. Realy enjoyed your interpretation.

  12. I think my heart stopped beating in my chest – and finally realized I was holding my breath while watching.

  13. Hey E,
    I love this song, the way you interpreted it.
    Just to let you know I’m sharing it with Deaf friends. I understand Domestic abuse and I think the world has it wrong when they think that is Love.
    I don’t know, if you remember me but I used to Visit SS church and Vienna.
    If you ever decide to come to P.R., visit us on the West side.
    God bless you!
