Event Description:

"The Sandwich Kid" is a docmentary created by Keri Bowers (90 minutes).

Disabilities affect not only those who are diagnosed, but they have a strong impact on the siblings of people with disabilities. The Sandwich Kid seeks to give a voice to those who are impacted by the day-to-day living with a brother or sister having a developmental or other disability.

The film is moved forward by 12 year old Jace King. Jace uses wit, charm, and keen insights as his “brothers keeper” to extract laughter and tears in the interviews he conducts with dozens of “sibs,” ranging in age from 6 to 59. Along the way, he shares his own struggles and challenges to building a relationship after years of estrangement with his quirky brother.

A panel with knowledge and first hand experience will dialogue with the audience following the film.

Refreshments will be provided.
