In honor of Autism Awareness month, Gersh Academy is thrilled to let you know that we are hosting a screening of the award-winning new documentary film Swim Team, an inspiring look at the rise of a competitive swim team of autistic teens.
Following three teammates on the cusp of adulthood, when government services become scarce, Swim Team is a portrait of diverse American families grappling with the problem of “aging out.” Over the course of a year, the film explores the overwhelming struggles they face and the triumphs they achieve as they strive for independence, inclusion and a life that feels winning.
We will be screening this uplifting film on:
- Date: April 7th
- Time: 12:30pm (run time is 1hr 30min)
- Location:
- Gersh Academy
- 307 Eagle Avenue
- West Hempstead, NY 11552
Limited tickets are available, please RSVP to Claudia at: camaya@gershacademy.org.
