[nfbmi-talk] {Disarmed} Slightly Off topicFW: NC Film premieres in the Triangle November 2

Tue Oct 11 15:10:03 UTC 2011

Hello,

This announcement deals with a film that deals with children coping with
special ed.  Not sure if blindness is specifically portrayed, but issues are
similar for most parents trying to get appropriate services for their
children with disabilities.

Warmest Regards,

Fred

Raleigh, N.C. . . . Footpath Pictures' "Certain Proof: A Question of Worth"
comes home for its North Carolina premiere at the William and Ida Friday
Center in Chapel Hill at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 2.

"Certain Proof," written, directed, and produced in its entirety in Wake
County by filmmakers Ray and Susan Ellis debuted in April during Colorado's
Vail Film Festival. The documentary has also been selected for screening by
four other film festivals including the Dances with Films Festival in West
Hollywood, Calif., the Seattle True Independent Film Festival, the Southern
Appalachian International Film Festival in Kingsport, Tenn., and the
Cucalorus Film Festival in Wilmington, N.C.  Recently, Susan Ellis was the
guest of William Friday, who applauded the documentary, on his program
"North Carolina People".

"Certain Proof" sweeps its audience into the world of children who have good
academic potential--some gifted--but are hampered by their communications
and mobility challenges. These children have difficulties being included in
the mainstream, especially schools. The film focuses on the battle of three
mothers who fight with unrelenting passion for their children's rights to a
public school education and the teachers and administrators hamstrung by the
bureaucracy of an education system with precious few resources to help them.

New Voices, a Triangle-based outreach foundation, serves children and
parents, like the three featured in the film, evaluates the extent of their
issues, prepares a transition plan, trains teachers, and follows the
families with support. New Voices assists children with severe communication
and physical disabilities--due to developmental disabilities, brain injury,
cerebral palsy, and other issues--to maximize their learning potential
through a program of short-term, intensive, individualized instruction.
Inclusion--in all aspects of school, home and community life--with a
transition back into a local school environment is the group's goal.

Proceeds from the North Carolina premiere of "Certain Proof: A Question of
Worth" will benefit the New Voices Foundation. Doors will open at 6 p.m.
Remarks begin at 6:30 p.m. followed by the film's screening and a wine and
cheese reception. Tickets are available for purchase starting at $50 for
sponsors, $25 for patrons and $10 for teachers and students. To reserve,
visit www.newvoicesnc.org.
