An Evening with Ezra
May 21 @ 6:00 pm - 11:00 pm
An Evening with Ezra is a storytelling & screening event hosted by Love & Autism.
Why Ezra?
The risks we take for love are the biggest risks of our lives. This film captures these universal themes that are often missed within the larger conversation and beliefs about what it means to be autistic. Everyone deserves to be seen and heard, to have a sense of belonging, and be their authentic self. Ezra gets it right.
The world is cruel and can be an unforgiving place for those within the neuro-minority. This film, a story of father and son, continues the important conversation that autistic people want and need love at every stage of their lives.
Autistic people have been largely marginalized and are not understood to have these universal needs. Shifting the narrative is not just the journey for autistic people and their families, creating a neurodivergent affirming world is all of our work.
