Being Heumann
Based on a true revolution.
Directed by Sian Heder
Produced by Permut Presentations, Gravity Squared Entertainment
An inspiring true-story drama about a disability rights activist who channels her defiance into a transformative 1970s protest movement.
Scrappy, defiant, and done being treated like a burden, Judy Heumann turns her outrage into a revolution. In 1977, she and more than 100 disability rights protestors send a very loud message: The system is broken—not us.
