## Resource

When “Being Heumann” hits theaters and streaming in November, it won’t just be another biopic—it’s a landmark moment for disability representation. Starring Ruth Madeley, an actress with spina bifida, and co-written by Rebekah Taussig, a disability activist, the film brings Judith Heumann’s fearless fight for accessibility to life with unprecedented authenticity. No more “crip up” performances or inspirational tropes—this is a story told by those who lived it, capturing the grit, joy, and resilience of disability advocacy. It’s not just about overcoming adversity; it’s about rewriting the narrative from the ground up. Prepare to witness history told with heart, honesty, and the power of lived experience.
