Join ReelAbilities Houston for the opening film night featuring the incredible film Deaf President Now!

 

During eight days in March 1988, Gallaudet University students ignited a watershed moment in civil rights history. When the board appoints a hearing president to lead the world's only Deaf university, four student leaders mobilize their peers into action. Their demands extend beyond campus leadership, challenging deeply entrenched systems and sparking a movement that reverberates through generations. Co-directed by Nyle DiMarco and Davis Guggenheim, this documentary weaves together firsthand accounts and archival footage to chronicle a pivotal moment in American civil rights that reshaped educational equity.
