Bonnie Sherr Klein's
SHAMELESS: The ART of Disability
Sunday, October 21, 6:15 – 7:30 pm
Pavilion D

Art, activism, and disability are the starting point for what unfolds as a funny and intimate portrait of five surprising individuals. Director Bonnie Sherr Klein (Not a Love Story, and Speaking Our Peace) has been a pioneer of women's cinema and an inspiration to a generation of filmmakers around the world. SHAMELESS: The ART of Disability marks Klein's return to a career interrupted by a catastrophic stroke in 1987. Always the activist, she now turns the lens on the world of disability culture, and ultimately, the transformative power of art.

Joining Klein are a group of artists with diverse (dis)abilities. Humorist David Roche is taking his one man show off-Broadway, The Church of 80% Sincerity, in New York. Poet and scholar Catherine Frazee is navigating a jam-packed schedule of teaching and speaking engagements. Dancer, choreographer and impresario Geoff McMurchy is producing KickstART!, an international festival of disability art. Sculptor and writer Persimmon Blackbridge is creating mixed media portraits from “meaningful junk”.

Wife of long-time NAPCRG member Michael Klein, MD, CCFP, Bonnie Klein has a special understanding of NAPCRG members and their commitment to person-centered care. Shameless depicts a fresh perspective on triumph over disabilities—an inspiring and provocative message that can be brought back to patients and colleagues of all NAPCRG members.

NAPCRG cordially invites you to join your fellow colleagues in attending a special viewing of this film on Sunday, October 21, from 6:15-7:30 in Pavilion D.
