[Mitai-announce] Movie This Wednesday at 7PM!

[Jasmine Park]

Hello Everyone,

Amnesty International is holding its first movie screening of the  
year. We will be seeing "LABELED DISABLED" in 6-120 at 7PM this  
Wednesday! The director of the movie, Maggie Doben, will be at the  
event as well to answer your questions after the movie. Food will be  
provided!

LABELED DISABLED addresses curriculum that challenges those biases  
and demonstrates, through first hand experience that they are  
stereotypes, not reality. Watch what actually happens in the  
classroom as children discuss and challenge prejudice.

In conjunction with anti-bias education and the idea that knowledge  
is best acquired through concrete experience, the viewer witnesses  
the inspirational progress of children; from what they perceive to be  
true, to what is true.

Through interviews, classroom lessons, and discussion, educators,  
disabled individuals, parents and students show what this learning  
can achieve. Experts in the fields of education and disability  
advocacy will substantiate that learning about disabilities is  
valuable and life changing for young children.
