Saturday, November 4, 2017

 

3:00-4:45pm Screening of the acclaimed documentary, "Do You Dream In Color."

 

Connor wants to be a sponsored skateboarder; Sarah wants to travel the
world; Nick dreams of being a rock star; and Carina wants to be the first
member of her family to graduate high school. These four teenagers are each
trying to achieve their dreams. But they face an additional challenge: they
are blind.

 

Blind people of all ages, their families, educators, and others who face
discrimination based on low expectations will learn from these inspiring
young people and their stories in Do You dream in Color?, a new, critically
acclaimed  documentary. The documentary depicts the problems that blind
students experience in public schools and other challenges that they face
due to low expectations and misconceptions about blindness. The National
Federation of the Blind of Virginia Parents' Division is proud to host a
screening of this important film as part of its division meeting program at
the NFBV state convention at the Westin Hotel in Tyson's corner, Virginia.
All are welcome to attend. 

 

Following the film, Dr. Brian R. Miller will moderate a town-hall-style
discussion, with audience questions answered by Dr. Frederick K. Schroeder.
All are welcome, and there is no charge to attend this event.
