The Disability Services Center Presents:
The 2022 Award-Winning Documentary: “I Didn’t See You There”
“I have cerebral palsy. I would like people to see that my diagnosis is not my biggest obstacle” – Filmmaker Reid Davenport

Film Description: As a visibly disabled person, filmmaker Reid Davenport sets out to make a film about how he sees the world, from either his wheelchair or his two feet, without having to be seen himself. The unexpected arrival of a circus tent outside his apartment in Oakland, CA leads him to consider the history and legacy of P.T. Barnum’s Freak Show and its lingering presence in his daily life in the form of gawking, lack of access, and other forms of ableism.

Wednesday, February 15
8:00 – 9:30 pm Gorham Campus – Lower Brooks (Come grab a slice of Pizza!)

Film captioning will be provided. If you need other accommodations, please contact the Disability Services Center at 780-4706 or dsc-usm@maine.edu.
