“What if this doesn’t work?” “I thought you were a radical crip!” Apple TV debuted their full official trailer for the heroic film titled Being Heumann, the latest feature made by acclaimed Oscar-winning filmmaker Sian Heder – best known for her Best Picture winning film CODA. This recently premiered at TIFF 2026 to mostly good reviews, as expected, as a drama about fighting for disabled rights. The title is a reference to the actual woman named Judy Heumann, a disability rights activist who lead a campaign back in the 70s. The film stars Ruth Madeley as Judy Heumann and opens in November this fall. In 1977, disability rights activist Judy Heumann leads a historic 28-day occupation of San Francisco’s Federal Building, uniting protesters in a fight for accessibility laws & equal rights. A powerful new film that chronicles the “mother of the disability rights movement,” Judy Heumann, as she leads a group of young adults who come together to find their collective voice in a fight against discrimination. This also co-stars Mark Ruffalo, Madeline Delp, Dylan O’Brien, Will Brill, Michael Patrick Thornton, Antwan Tolliver, Rein Barcel, with Charlie Rush-Reese, and many others. This looks rousing and inspiring, indeed, in the kind of way that might get more of us to open our minds. Definitely another must see when it’s out to watch soon in the fall. // Continue Reading ›
