Celebrating the 36th Anniversary of the ADA and 27th of Olmsted , I Love You Lead On and others bring you a screening of the film Life After. It underscores audiences understanding that disability rights are about family, work, school, relationships, and independence, not just court cases. That storytelling is especially important right now because threats to rights often arrive through administrative decisions and reduced enforcement rather than a dramatic repeal. In this moment, Life After can serve as a reminder that disability rights were won through struggle and can be narrowed through neglect.

Life After

Reid Davenport

Colleen Cassingham

 probes the legacy of Elizabeth Bouvia — a disabled woman who, at the age of 26, sought “the right to die,” provoking a national debate about autonomy, dignity, and the value of disabled lives. Disabled filmmaker Reid Davenport uncovers chilling echoes of her 1983 case in contemporary stories of disabled people dying prematurely — at their own hands and from a broken health care system.
