photo of a smiling Rami wearing a white shirt and straw hat in front of a mango tree branch. Rami has light brown skin with black hair and piercings between the eyes on his nose bridge and on the earlobes. Four green mangoes hang from the top-right edge of the frame and dangle around Rami’s face, covering parts of the straw hat. The background is a green open field with out of focus, tall trees.

APRIL 1, 2025

Our Premiere Screening in Portland sold out the first day! The event was beautiful! Because so many people have been asking for another screening, we are having another screening in Portland!

Our next screening will be June 22nd at Hollywood Theatre in Portland, Oregon. We’ll let you know when tickets become available.

Please, we need your help. For the cost of screening at Hollywood, the cost for a gistribution agent, and the cost for marketing. Please donate what you can for this very important film. See GoFundMe link at the bottom of page.

Our education based, groundbreaking film challenges societal norms, exploring profound themes of ableism, racism, intersectionality, and the distinction between Disability Rights and Disability Justice. It challenges the notions of beauty and centers on the lived experiences of adults with disabilities. This is the first film uniting a minority, the largest minority, Persons with Disabilities, that spans the globe.

While understanding that ableism and inspiration porn are embedded in our culture, we want to share stories authentically and unapologetically. It is packed with stories and information to educate and shed light on the experience of individuals with disabilities.
