<b>Intelligent Lives</b> (Not Rated 71 mins): From award-winning filmmaker Dan Habib comes a catalyst to transform the label of intellectual disability from a life sentence of isolation into a life of possibility for the most systematically segregated people in America. Documentary stars three pioneering young American adults with intellectual disabilities � Micah Naieer and Naomie � who challenge perceptions of intelligence as they navigate high school college and the workforce. Academy Award-winning actor and narrator Chris Cooper contextualizes the lives of these central characters through the emotional personal story of his son Jesse as the film unpacks the shameful and ongoing track record of intelligence testing in the United States. <i>Sunday Cinema is a film series geared toward adult audiences.</i>
