UCSB Arts & Lectures will screen the film “Facing the Falls,” 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 11 at UCSB Campbell Hall.
Executive produced by Hillary Clinton and Chelsea Clinton, “Facing the Falls” chronicles international disability rights advocate and entrepreneur Cara Yar Khan’s quest to live an extraordinary life and shatter stigma against people living with disabilities.
Deep in the throes of an aggressive muscle-wasting disease and no longer able to walk unassisted, Yar Khan ventures out on a daring, 12-day expedition through the Grand Canyon.
In this story of fear, hubris, courage and perseverance against the odds, the expedition team grapples with the remote wilderness and comes face to face with their individual demons and insecurities.
The movie is co-produced by UCSB’s Wendy Eley Jackson.
The film is free to attend. For tickets and information, visit www.ArtsAndLectures.UCSB.edu or call 805-893-3535
