I am passing on this information on behalf of Paul Sladkus a good friend of
Gotham.  Paul usually devotes himself to reporting on only the Good News in

your community and or attend if you see fit.

* to attend ​the Summer in the Forest premiere screenings from March
23-March 30 at the Village East Cinema/NY.   I think this will be a
marvelous experience for all. *



*This full length uplifting feature movie on disabilities is: “**Breaking
down Prejudice, Revealing Beauty and Proclaiming the Ability in Disability.*
”



*​This *
*is ​i​​s a great opportunity to educate and unite around the rights of

*Summer in the Forest *is a documentary film that explores the life and
work of author and philosopher Jean Vanier. It traces Vanier’s activism and
faith from wartime to present day and reveals to us the universal need for
love, community and companionship. Like countless others, Philippe, Michel,
Andre and Patrick were labelled “idiots”, locked away and forgotten in
violent asylums until the 1960’s. The young philosopher Jean Vanier took a
stand and secured their release – the first time in history that anyone had
beaten the system. Together they created *L’Arche*, a community for people
with disabilities, a commune at the edge of a beautiful forest near Paris.
And with that, a quiet revolution was born.
