Unstoppable: Breaking Barriers Through Resilience and Inclusion
Sunday, February 23 @ 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm
Join us for an inspiring film screening that highlights empowerment, visibility, and breaking through societal barriers. Through two compelling stories, we witness the power of resilience and determination in overcoming personal and societal limitations. Working Differently takes us behind the scenes of the film and television industry, exploring the critical need for accessibility and inclusion, and why these values must become the industry standard.
Facing The Falls follows international disability advocate Cara Elizabeth Yar Khan on a daring 12-day expedition through the Grand Canyon, where she faces an aggressive, fatal muscle-wasting disease, demonstrating courage, ambition, and the will to defy the odds. Together, these films inspire us to push boundaries, elevate voices, and create a more inclusive world for all.
