Movies on the Grass highlights the annual K-State common read and brings light to social justice issues impacting the world today. Come learn and grow with us as we learn in community about Deaf culture through our featured films.

Come to Town Hall in Leadership Studies at 6:30pm on September 15th for our second film of the series. Film will begin at 6:30pm, with a speaker before at 6:00pm. 

September 15th’s film is “Concerning Barriers: Three Films on Disability and Society”:

"Concerning Barriers consists of three films that are about disability from the perspective of people with disabilities. The films implicitly and explicitly explores issues and concepts such as accessibility, the medical model versus social model, marginalization, societal response to disability and the Americans with Disabilities Act. These films together create a more three-dimensional portrayal of disability than what is commonly shown in the media."
