Join the Community Advisory Committee for Special Education for this
incredible film SCREENING AND DISCUSSION!From award-winning filmmaker
Dan Habib comes INTELLIGENT LIVES, a catalyst to transform the label
of intellectual disability from a life sentence of isolation into a
life of possibility for the most systematically segregated people in
America.
INTELLIGENT LIVES 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.
