The Jewish Federation of Ottawa, the Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta, along with Pushing the Boundaries are proud to host a virtual film screening of "The Ride Ahead" from Jewish father-son co-directors Samuel Habib and Dan Habib, followed by a discussion with Dan.
Join us on January 28, 1 - 3 pm
About the film:
Turning 21, Samuel Habib wants to date, leave home, and go to college.
Yet every rite of passage is fraught with challenges. Sam has seizures and uncontrollable movements. Friends’ homes are inaccessible to his wheelchair. He has degrading ableist encounters. “No one tells you how to be an adult,” he says, “let alone an adult with a disability.” Can a community of disability activists help him follow his dreams?
"The Ride Ahead" is the feature-length version of the Emmy Award-winning New York Times Op-Doc, "My Disability Roadmap". Watch the trailer here: https://www.rideaheadfilm.com/watch
All are welcome. Free.
