From award-winning filmmaker Dan Habib comes INTELLIGENT LIVES, a catalyst to transform the label of intellectual disability from a life sentence of isolation into a life of possibility for the most systematically segregated people in America. INTELLIGENT LIVES stars three pioneering young American adults with intellectual disabilities - Micah, Naieer, and Naomie - who challenge perceptions of intelligence as they navigate high school, college, and the workforce. Academy Award-winning actor and narrator Chris Cooper contextualizes the lives of these central characters through the emotional personal story of his son Jesse, as the film unpacks the shameful and ongoing track record of intelligence testing in the U.S. INTELLIGENT LIVES challenges what it means to be intelligent, and points to a future in which people of all abilities can fully participate in higher education, meaningful employment and intimate relationships.
Leave your thoughts about Intelligent Lives.
| Movie NationRoger MooreAs history, Intelligent Lives is invaluable at reminding us of the speed of change, once such change is recognized and accepted as necessary. |
| The AU ReviewDoug JamiesonA powerful impetus for change that demands your attention. |
| Eye for FilmJennie KermodeThis film gives viewers the chance to get to know intellectually disabled people and understand what's at stake. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckEven with the interesting historical and individual stories, the doc would have benefited from a more expansive focus. It feels limited at times, both in its small number of personal profiles and the sketchiness with which it delivers the necessary context. There's no denying, however, its passion and conviction. |
| Film Journal InternationalAndré HerefordIntelligent Lives offers a compelling, unshowy account of three people with disabilities embarking on huge steps towards greater independence. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA solid case for tearing down the walls created by intelligence testing supported by the uplifting stories of those whose have escaped this segregation. |
| Film ThreatBobby LePireDan Habib certainly has noble intentions in mind with Intelligent Lives. The energetic, ambitious young people at its core are a joy and discovering where they wind up is sweet. However, the documentary never goes far enough to explain vital elements in the civil rights advancements for those with disabilities, and the directing style fails to generate forward momentum. |
| User ReviewCheryl FA must see for everyone! Intelligent Lives changes the way you think about those with the label of Intellectual Disability. |
| User ReviewJodie AAMAZING movie showing people with intellectual disabilities living fully inclusive authentic lives in their communities! Living, loving, working, going to college . . . |
