Inthrive Film Festival: Discovering Yourself

Presented by Inthrive Film Festival at VCU - University Student Commons Theater

college of woman holding her art

BEING MICHELLE is the gripping documentary of a deaf woman with autism who survived a justice system that refused to accommodate her, and the unexpected lifeline who changed her trajectory: Kim, a blind volunteer life coach she met on the inside.

Now free, these two extraordinary women are unraveling Michelle’s past through her deeply personal artwork and their unbreakable bond. More than a story of survival, it is a testament to resilience, healing, and the profound power of finally being heard.

Witness her unforgettable journey. Join us for BEING MICHELLE at the Inthrive Film Festival opening weekend in Richmond, VA!

Followed by a conversation about disabilities and the criminal legal system.

*Film is captioned and ASL interpretation will be provided for discussion
