University Libraries and Disability Center Host Screening of Unrest

For the third year in a row, the University Libraries have partnered with the Disability Center to host a movie screening during Celebrate Ability Week, (October 1-5) – the week-long series of events which celebrates disability awareness and culture at Mizzou. The Libraries purchased the film and performing rights for Unrest — a Sundance award-winning documentary depicting 28-year-old Jennifer Brea, a Harvard Ph.D. student just months away from getting married, who develops a mysterious fever that leaves her bedridden. Brea begins to chronicle her illness with a camera and creates this “eloquent personal documentary.”  The film will be screened on Wednesday, October 3rd, from 8:00 – 10:30pm in the MU Student Center at The Shack eating area.  Watch the Unrest trailer or check out the DVD after next week.
