Please join us for the our Bristol Social Justice Discussion Series this month:
• Thursday, March 30, 2023
• 7:00 - 8:30 PM via zoom
People with disabilities make up around 25% of the US population, but are cast in less than 2% of the roles we see in films. Not only are people with disabilities underrepresented, they are often portrayed in ways that contribute to harmful stereotypes.
Join us as disabled and non-disabled advocates from Lincoln-based Zeno Mountain Farm describe Zeno's year round programing and unique, empowering model of community and lifelong friendship. We'll learn from this how to counteract harmful stereotypes and isolation. Program includes watching Bigger Than Us, a short documentary film about Zeno's inclusive filmmaking, and discussion about Zeno's feature film Best Summer Ever, filmed in Bristol and Lincoln, with a cast and crew of over 50% disabled talent. This film is a first of its kind, and was sold to Hulu in 2021.
