Free Screening of "Intelligent Lives"

2/25/2019

 
Living Innovations, Maine Parent Federation, & Thornton Living Innovations team up to bring you a free screening of

“Intelligent Lives”

This documentary, from award-winning filmmaker, Dan Habib stars three pioneering young American adults with intellectual disabilities – Micah, Naieer, and Naomie – who challenge perceptions of intelligence as they navigate high school, college, and the workforce. Academy Award-winning actor and narrator Chris Cooper contextualizes the lives of these central characters through the emotional personal story of his son Jesse, as the film unpacks the shameful and ongoing track record of intelligence testing in the U.S.

INTELLIGENT LIVES challenges what it means to be intelligent, and points to a future in which people of all abilities can fully participate in higher education, meaningful employment, and intimate relationships.
