February 13, 2026

We’re excited to invite you to a special community film screening of A Place Where I Belong, a powerful documentary that has been invited to multiple film festivals for its powerful storytelling and urgent social impact. Tickets by donation.

Facing a system that fails to recognize their full humanity, six 2SLGBTQIA+ people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities fight for visibility, love, and freedom through a radical program that’s at risk of disappearing.

The screening will be followed by a panel discussion featuring the film’s director and individuals who appear in the documentary.
