Our September DEI Film Festival movie is Life, Animated, a powerful documentary about an autistic boy, who through Disney’s beloved characters and stories, learned how to make sense of the world and found his own voice. This film is recommended for ages 12 and up. Following the screening, there will be a group discussion over a pizza and salad dinner to reflect on the film’s themes and to share perspectives on how storytelling can create understanding and connection across all abilities.
