BEING MICHELLE follows the astonishing journey of a Deaf and Disabled woman who survived incarceration and abuse under unimaginable circumstances by a system that refused to accommodate her needs as a deaf person with autism. Michelle’s trajectory changed when she met Kim Law, a blind volunteer life coach who teaches classes to people in prison. Today, outside of prison, Kim and Michelle are doing difficult work of unraveling Michele’s history, of telling the story of Michelle’s traumatic childhood and her adverse experiences in the criminal justice system. With the support of Kim, Michelle realizes her own voice and strength. Throughout the film Michelle’s artwork provides her own depiction of the trauma she survived as well as a means to her recovery. Ultimately, BEING MICHELLE is a story of redemption. It is about bonds between women committed to thriving in a broken system, who are forging a path to healing that can only come through facing the truth and communicating it, together.Order your free tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/being-michelle-tickets-914799649377
