Virtual Event, March 20th, 2021, with Vinfen of Cambridge, MA. Free and open to the public. Moving Images – Adjusting the Lens: A Shift in Perspective, uses films to raise awareness, educate the community, and fight prejudice and discrimination often faced by people who have psychiatric conditions, intellectual and developmental disabilities, brain injuries, and behavioral health challenges.
*
2021 Movies presented include:

  • NORMIE – When Annemarie looks in the mirror, she sees Down syndrome. She hates it. To her, the diagnosis is a giant barricade keeping her from the independence and intimacy she desperately desires. She embarks on a journey of self-discovery as she tries to understand what it means to be normal.
    * Followed by a panel discussion featuring:
    Star from NORMIE Annemarie Carrigan
    Star from NORMIE and Annemarie’s father Pat Carrigan, CFA
    Principal at Crawford Consulting and Communications, LLC and former Chair of Vinfen’s Family Advisory Council Kathleen Crawford, MBA
    Board-certified medical geneticist, Emma Campbell Endowed Chair on Down Syndrome at Massachusetts General Hospital, and Massachusetts Down Syndrome Congress Medical and Science Advisory Council Chair Brian G. Skotko, MD, MPP
  • BEDLAM – Through intimate stories of patients, families, and medical providers, BEDLAM immerses us in the national crisis surrounding care of the severely mentally ill.
    * Filmed over five years, it brings us inside one of America’s busiest psychiatric emergency rooms, into jails where psychiatric patients are warehoused, and to the homes – and homeless encampments – of mentally ill members of our communities, where silence and shame often compound personal suffering.
    * Followed by a panel discussion featuring:
    Addiction Psychiatrist and director, producer, and writer of BEDLAM Kenneth Paul Rosenberg, MD
    Star from BEDLAM Johanna Marie Swartz
    Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and star from BEDLAM Julea Leshar McGhee, MD, MPH
  • Ernie & Joe: Crisis Cops – Part of the San Antonio Police Department’s ten-person mental health unit, Ernie Stevens and Joe Smarro are putting compassionate policing practices into action. Ernie & Joe chronicles their daily encounters with people in crisis, showing how their innovative approach to policing – which takes mental health into account – is having a dramatic effect on the way police respond to these challenges.
    * Followed by a panel discussion featuring:
    San Antonio Department Police Officer and star from Ernie & Joe Ernie Stevens
