Screening of Siân Heder's biographical film about disability rights activist Judy Heumann, directed by the CODA director.
Being Heumann is showing at Storyhouse Cinema from Friday 13 November, with screenings running through to Wednesday 18 November. It's directed by Siân Heder, who won the Academy Award for CODA, and it stars Ruth Madeley as Judy Heumann, with Mark Ruffalo, Rob Delaney, Ray Fisher and Dylan O'Brien in the supporting cast.
The film is based on true events and tells the story of Judy Heumann, a disabled woman whose 1977 occupation of a federal building became the longest occupation of a federal building in American history. The tagline sums it up: 'They wouldn't take Judy Heumann's phone calls, so she took their building.' It follows how that impulsive act sparked a movement that changed the lives of millions. The screening runs about 127 minutes.
There are six showtimes across the six days: Friday 13 November at 3pm and 8:30pm; Sunday 15 November at 3pm; Monday 16 November at 2pm; Tuesday 17 November at 8:30pm; and Wednesday 18 November at 3:15pm. If you're looking for a matinee, there are four to choose from; if you'd rather go in the evening, there are two.
