Life After screening by DREDF and CIL, followed by a panel with Reid Davenport, Anita Cameron & Michael Bien.

 

Join the Disability Rights Education & Defense Fund (DREDF) and Center for Independent Living (CIL) for a screening of Life After, a powerful documentary from filmmaker Reid Davenport.

 

Life After is a 2025 American documentary film that explores the story of Elizabeth Bouvia, who in 1983 sought the legal right to die. Life After is a rallying cry for people with disabilities to be in control of their lives, and examines the political and social structures that surround and control people with disabilities.

 

The screening will be followed by a panel discussion moderated by DREDF’s Executive Director, Michelle Uzeta and featuring:

 

  • Reid Davenport, director of Life After
  • Anita Cameron, Disability Justice Activist
  • Michael Bien, Founding Partner of Rosen Bien Galvan & Grunfeld LLP

 

Together, they will explore the film’s themes and the broader implications for disability rights, ethics, and public policy.

 

This is an in-person event and it will not be live-streamed. If you cannot attend in person, we can provide a link to screen the film at home during the event on March 19. To receive a time-limited link, please email tickets@dredf.org by Monday, March 16.
