Beijing Human highlights disability rights at Toronto Festival
The film "Being Human" highlights the rights of people with disabilities through the story of American activist Judy Heumann, who led a 26-day sit-in at a federal building in 1977. This protest resulted in the passage of the first legislation protecting the rights of people with disabilities (Section 504). The film showcases the struggle of a group of 100 individuals with disabilities against discrimination and neglect, emphasizing their efforts to achieve change towards inclusion and justice. It features actors with disabilities in its cast. The film will be shown in select cinemas in November before its release on the Apple TV platform.
