Siân Heder, director of the best picture-winning "CODA," has a new film, "Being Heumann," about Judy Heumann, a disability rights pioneer. Heumann was a key figure in the protest movement that led to the Americans With Disability Act. Heder often thinks about what Heumann would do, and hopes she would be proud of the movie.
The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival. Heumann passed away in 2023, and Heder becomes emotional thinking about her not being able to see the film. Further details about the film and its premiere are available from the source.
