As we take a beautiful reflect on our last Documentary & Dialogue Series: “A Life Like This” which is directed by our very own, Millersville Alumnus, Jim Hollenbaugh who has the heart to advocate for artists who have various disabilities. The panelists gave educational precipitations and cognizance of the disability community and the social actions that should dismember stereotypes.
The four artists had an amazing interaction with the audience answering questions a few artists had representatives of family and responders to answer certain questions on their behalf.
