POV: IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE?
MONDAY, JULY 8, 9 PM
Is There Anybody Out There? is a personal documentary that follows the documentarian as she searches to track down other individuals with the same rare disability. The film also explores the experience of being a disabled, pregnant woman as well as the emotional process of becoming pregnant. Perhaps more than anything, however, this story is about ableism — living in a world where you're seen as less than human — and what it takes to love yourself fiercely despite this.

THE FIRE OF A MOVEMENT
MONDAY, JULY 8, 10:30 PM
On March 25, 1911, New York City's Triangle Shirtwaist Factory burst into flames, and 146 workers — nearly all young women, many of them teenage immigrants — perished. We visit the building and learn how public outcry inspired workplace safety laws that revolutionized industrial work nationwide. Descendants and activists show us how that work reverberates today.
