116. "Forget Me Not" Documentary, ft. Olivier & Hilda Bernier
When Oliver and Hilda Bernier began filming what they thought would be a documentary about inclusive education, they couldn’t have predicted the end result. Now, their film “Forget Me Not” just premiered as the headliner of the Human Rights Watch Film Festival in New York, and for good reason. “Forget Me Not” is the incredible story about the rights of disabled students in New York's public schools, told through the personal journey of one family: Hilda, Olivier and their son Emilio, who has Down syndrome. It follows them step by step as they battle with the NYC Department of Education and it’s policy of segregating students with disabilities.
You can watch this film until MAY 27th through the Human Rights Watch Film Festival or later this fall when it releases internationally! For Olivier and Hilda, this isn’t just a story they’re telling, it’s a story they’re living. Don’t miss it.
