Program Description
Event Details
Invisible: Personal Stories from the Front Lines of Disability is a series of short films that focus on the lived experience of Mainers with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families and caregivers as told in their own voices. Following the screening will be an opportunity for the audience to ask questions of the filmmakers and some of the subjects as well.
This ongoing, multi-year project was developed, with grant funding from the Maine Developmental Disabilities Council, by Community Connect Maine, a non-profit organization dedicated to the vision that all people have the support they need, when they need it, to live a full life in their communities of choice. A barrier to achieving that goal is that many people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are invisible in their community. Community Connect Maine hopes to overcome that barrier by helping people in the disability community share their stories.
Short videos are important and suitable for older children with parental approval. All content warnings will be announced prior to films being shown. We encourage people of all ages and abilities to attend this event!
