Join the Centre for Sexuality, Story Money Impact for a screening of A Place Where I Belong, a film by Rheanna Toy.
Facing a system that fails to recognize their full humanity, six 2SLGBTQIA+ people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (I/DD) fight for visibility, love, and freedom through Connecting Queer Communities (CQC), a radical program that’s at risk of disappearing.
Through CQC, the protagonists find safety and solidarity while exploring their sexual desire and gender. People with I/DD are often excluded from queer community by their caregivers’ discomfort with their sexuality, segregated from society to the point where they don’t have the experience to describe their queer identity. CQC models for the world how inclusivity can transform lives so that everyone can find a place where they belong.
Following the screening, there will be a Q&A session with the director and local experts!
