Three people—a political cartoonist, a mother turned boxing coach, and an optician—navigate their lives with resourcefulness and determination in the face of a degenerative illness, Parkinson’s disease.

There will be a discussion after the film with Christi Cornell, LMSW, Executive Director of the Capital Area Parkinson’s Society; Mary Jane Berry, Georgetown Area Parkinson’s Support Group Executive Director; moderated by KUT’s Health Reporter, Olivia Aldridge.

These screenings are free and presented with open captions. 

This project is supported in part by the City of Austin Economic Development Department.

ABOUT INDIE LENS POP-UP

Through its roster of five documentary projects this season, Indie Lens Pop-Up will generate conversations on a range of topics impacting communities around the U.S., including the Muslim American experience, climate gentrification, and race and gender equity in mainstream media. This season’s topics also aim to expand perspectives through deeply personal stories, like what it means to live with Parkinson’s disease, and how the Deaf and hard of hearing community redefine what it means to listen. Screenings are free and open to the public.
