Online - ReelAbilities Boston and Disability Reframed present Code of the Freaks Film
6:15 PM Tuesday, March 24, 2020
This Event has moved online, but registration is still required.
Join the ReelAbilities Boston Film Festival and Disability Reframed: A Community Film Series for an open-captioned screening of Code of the Freaks, a blistering critique of Hollywood representations of disabled characters. The film gives the mic to some of Hollywood’s most incensed and ignored critics - actual disabled people.
Code of Freaks is also a reference to the disability community itself, which in spite of a history
fractured by institutionalization, isolation, and segregation from the rest of humanity, has emerged to build a political and cultural movement.
Warning: this film contains sexual content and violence, particularly against people with disabilities
