RAISE AWARENESS IN YOUR COMMUNITY
“I believe that this film should be mandatory viewing for everyone in every court system in this nation. Michelle’s story tells the story of the devastating impact of solitary confinement, the devastating impact of being uniquely vulnerable in prison and jail systems because you are a person with disabilities, and again, so resoundingly, the fact that we don’t take time to communicate with each other and that just results in misunderstandings that rob people like Michelle of decades of their lives.”
WHY HOST A SCREENING?
Unlike watching a film at home alone, hosting an in-person or virtual screening is a powerful way to build & strengthen your community.
Hosting a screening of BEING MICHELLE, with members of the film team present, is an opportunity to create a unique, uplifting and memorable experience – and generous offering – for your organization’s members.
BEING MICHELLE IS A FILM THAT:
Challenges stereotypes & prejudice
Represents, destigmatizes & empowers diverse gender expression
Inspires persistence, self-acceptance & empowerment
Celebrates the value & power of art
Models family acceptance & love
The dialogues and mind-shifts coming out of our community screenings and events have been powerful and transformative – among individuals of all types of backgrounds and worldviews.
“Michelle’s story represents a large number of people who are completely overlooked by our society, especially by our criminal legal system.”
“This is one of the most powerful stories I’ve seen this year.”
