Community Connect Screening of Invisible: Personal Stories from the Front Lines of Disability

Join us for a screening of Invisible: Personal Stories from the Front Lines of Disability, a collection of short videos about the lived experience of Mainers with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families and caregivers.

The screening, followed by a conversation with the filmmakers, is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 9, in Callahan Hall at Lewiston Public Library, 200 Lisbon St, Lewiston.

This ongoing, multi-year project was developed, with grant funding from the Maine Developmental Disabilities Council, by Community Connect Maine, a non-profit organization dedicated to the vision that all people have the support they need, when they need it, to live a full life in their communities of choice. A barrier to achieving that goal is that many people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are invisible in their community. We hope to overcome that barrier by helping people in the disability community share their stories.

Admission to the screening is free, but attendees are strongly encouraged to register in advance at https://communityconnectme.org/events-and-workshops.
