About this event

Join Lights! Camera! Access! for a virtual screening and Q&A discussion of the new PBS documentary, "American Masters: Becoming Helen Keller.” We will be joined by Disabled Veterans working in the media and comments by Billy W. Wright, National Employment Coordinator; Department of Veterans Affairs/Central Office; Veteran Readiness and Employment Services

This event is open to all. We encourage Disabled Veterans, Student Veterans, family, friends and colleagues.

While most coverage of Helen Keller fixates on her as the “eternal child” around that “aha” moment at the water pump with her teacher Anne Sullivan, immortalized in play and movie "The Miracle Worker," this new documentary "Becoming Helen Keller" shatters that disability myth, transcends that image, takes back the narrative, and unlocks little-known and multi-faceted aspects of her life and commitment to social justice, disability rights, women’s rights, voting rights, civil rights, disabled veterans, support of the NAACP and ACLU, setting up State Commissions for the Blind and “talking books,” to name a few.

This dynamic documentary features little-known aspects of Keller's social justice activism and includes captions, audio description, extended audio description, ASL interpreters and descriptive transcript so that DeafBlind audiences can experience this film independently. The Q&A will have captions and ASL interpreter.
