Topic: Intelligent Lives
a special screening of award-winning filmmaker Dan Habib's documentary INTELLIGENT LIVES! The film 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.
This screening is sponsored by the North Penn Parents Special Education Alliance and the Montgomery County Down Syndrome Interest Group.
