In partnership with Kennedy School, PPS is hosting a series of events that focus on Belonging, Equity & Inclusive Practices where we will screen powerful, award-winning documentaries that will stir, provoke, and challenge each of us about what is possible in the systems we create for our children with disabilities.

As part of this series, we are excited to welcome you to a screening of Including Samuel on Wednesday February 26 at 7pm, doors open at 6pm.

The film chronicles the life of the Habib family after Samuel is diagnosed with cerebral palsy, and it explores the family's journey of hope and perseverance as they battle cultural and systemic barriers to inclusion. Featured on NPR's "All Things Considered," "Good Morning America," as well as in the Washington Post and the Boston Globe, the film recently won the Positive Images in Media award from TASH, an international group committed to the full inclusion of people with disabilities, and the "Excellence Award" from Superfest International Film Festival in Berkeley, California.

Staff, families, and community members are all invited. Parking is free and McMenamins' full menu is available for ordering. We hope to see you there
