FIXED: The Science Fiction of Human Enhancement
A haunting, subtle, urgent documentary, FIXED questions commonly held beliefs about disability and normalcy by exploring technologies that promise to change our bodies and minds forever. Told primarily through the perspectives of five people with disabilities: a scientist, journalist, disability justice educator, bionics engineer and exoskeleton test pilot, FIXED takes a close look at the implications of emerging human enhancement technologies.
Disability Studies Minor Panel
A panel of faculty and advocates will discuss the film and how it relates to our new disability studies minor.
