We're using this year's AAIDD media award-winning film, "Hearts of Glass," as a catalyst for conversation about employment and inclusion. Attendees will have access to stream the film from Friday, June 19, 7 pm ET to Friday, June 26, at 7 pm ET.

A panel discussion about the film will then be held via webinar on June 24, 2020, at 4:00 pm ET. Join us for a lively discussion with the filmmaker, individuals featured in the documentary, and the executive director of the Rural Institute for Inclusive Communities, who served as an advisor during production. The film is about an ambitious small business that combines high-tech local food production and meaningful employment for people with disabilities. You can watch the trailer here.
