7:30 PM - Rm 216 Living/Learning Commons
A brief discussion of the themes led by Charlene
Willey from Pride Center of Vermont LGBTQ People with
Disabilities Network will follow the screening.
About the film: Sins Invalid narrates a
performance project of artists with disabilities, artists of
color and queer and gender-variant artists who use the stage
to work towards disability justice within their community.
About
the Social Justice Film Series: Brought to you by the Center for Cultural
Pluralism, the Fall 2014 Social Justice Film Series theme is "Queering
Identities" and
offers participants an educational opportunity to explore
through film and subsequent the queer experience and its
intersections with other social identities. Films selected for
the Social Justice Film Series have one viewing and are
generally screened up to a half hour and followed by
an engaged discourse on the themes by the participants. To
be respectful of your time, it is our hope that this
entire educational program does not exceed ninety minutes.
