Film 'Being Heumann' to Depict Landmark Disability Rights Activism in the U.S.

Film 'Being Heumann' to Depict Landmark Disability Rights Activism in the U.S.

The film 'Being Heumann,' directed and co-written by Academy Award-winning Sian Heder, is set for a limited theatrical release on November 6th and will stream exclusively on Apple TV starting November 13th. The movie is based on the memoir of Judith Heumann, an internationally recognized American Disability Rights activist often referred to as 'The mother of the disability rights movement.' The narrative centers on Heumann's efforts to ensure the enforcement of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, a pivotal provision that explicitly prohibited discrimination against individuals with disabilities in any program or activity receiving federal funding. The film recounts the 1977 occupation of a federal building by a coalition of disabled individuals, which became the longest such occupation in American history, ultimately leading to action from bureaucrat Joseph Califano to sign the bill.

Kino Lorber to Release 'Soul Patrol' Documentary in Theaters, Highlighting Black Vietnam Veterans' Experiences

Kino Lorber, an independent film distribution company, is set to release the documentary 'Soul Patrol' in theaters. The film, directed by J.M. Harper, will open at the IFC Center in New York on November 6, with subsequent screenings beginning November 13 in Los Angeles and other markets. 'Soul Patrol' revisits the experiences of Black soldiers who served in a Vietnam War special operations unit, focusing on their service abroad and the racial inequality they encountered upon returning to the United States. The documentary is based on a memoir by veteran Ed Emanuel and features participants such as Jesse Lewis Jr. and Mark Miller. It incorporates interviews with surviving veterans, personal photographs, Super 8 footage, and audio recordings to tell its story. The film has already received recognition, earning the U.S. Documentary Directing Award at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival. Its runtime is 100 minutes, offering a comprehensive look into this often-overlooked chapter of military history.
