Revealing a path to a more inclusive society that starts with welcoming diversity in the classroom. As 3-year-old Emilio prepares to start school, his family finds itself embroiled in a challenge all too common for children with disabilities: to secure the right to an inclusive education. Cornered in one of the most segregated education systems, NYC public schools, filmmaker Olivier and his wife Hilda turn the camera on themselves and their child with Down syndrome, as they navigate a byzantine system originally designed to silo children with disabilities. Emilio's parents learn from other families who have fought against the injustices built into the educational system while they continue their own battle for their son's future. The film previously won a 2022 SLAMDANCE Grand Jury Award and was selected to the 2021 New Orleans Film Festival, Montreal Independent Film Festival, and ACT Human Rights Festival, among other honors.
