ROCKLAND — The Rockland Public Library and Community Connect Maine present a screening of Invisible: Personal Stories from the Front Lines of Disability, Thursday, June 27, at 6 p.m. This event is free and open to all.

Invisible: Personal Stories from the Front Lines of Disability is a short video collection focusing on the lived experience of Mainers with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families and caregivers as told in their own voices. Following the screening will be a discussion with the filmmakers.

This ongoing, multi-year project was developed, with grant funding from the Maine Developmental Disabilities Council, by Community Connect Maine, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the vision that all people have the support they need, when they need it, to live a full life in their communities of choice.

“A barrier to achieving that goal is that many people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are invisible in their community,” said a news release.

Community Connect Maine hopes to overcome that barrier by helping people in the disability community share their stories. Learn more at https://communityconnectme.org/

This event will be held in-person at the Rockland Public Library, located at 80 Union Street, and simultaneously screened over Zoom.
