From documentaries to feature films, this curated list uses the craft of storytelling to bring people with disabilities to the forefront. For one day in July, The Center for Accessibility will immerse you in films that explore topics like first love in musical form, the invisible disability of mental illness, and surviving in a world that’s gone silent.
All movies will be shown with open captioning.
