About the event

BEING MICHELLE presents a special opportunity to raise awareness around the disproportionate impact of incarceration and systemic discrimination of Deaf and Disabled people. The film can help shift the public safety narrative from one of policing and incarceration to one of community and public health investments. Michelle’s story also demonstrates the significance of art as a healing tool.

A portion of your ticket will go towards supporting the social impact campaign for this important film. #RightToCommunication
