INTELLIGENT LIVES stars three pioneering young American adults with intellectual disabilities - Micah, Naieer and Naomie – who challenge perceptions of intelligence as they navigate high school, college, and the workforce. Academy Award-winning actor and narrator Chris Cooper contextualizes the lives of these central characters through the emotional story of his son Jesse, as the film unpacks the shameful and ongoing track record of intelligence testing in the U.S.

LEAP presents this thought-provoking film with the support of the University of Farmington and the Mount Blue school district. Admission is free, but pre-registration is required as seating is limited.
