“The R-Word” Film Screening – October 17

Join ReelAbilities Film Festival: Cleveland for the last film event of the year. Youth Challenge will be featuring a film touching on advocacy, language and disability. “The R-Word” takes a purposeful look into the long-reaching history and lasting implications of the word retard(ed) and current attitudes and perceptions about people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. “The R-Word” is an unflinching, heartwarming, humorous, and hopeful journey through our shared human experience. After the film, meet with Good Life Ambassadors and learn how to interact with and include people with disabilities.
