2025 Common Sense Festival: My Disability Roadmap April Screening
The University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) will take center stage in an extraordinary celebration of art, science, and disability acceptance as the
2025 Common Senses Festival arrives this spring. The festival will feature a variety of experiences - starting with a screening of
My Disability Roadmap, an emmy-winning documentary.
In this Emmy Award winning documentary short, Samuel Habib, 21, wants to date, leave home, go to college. But he drives a 350-pound wheelchair, uses a communication device, and can have a seizure at any moment. Determined to find his path forward, he seeks out guidance from America’s most rebellious disability activists. Will they empower him to launch the bold adult life he craves? The film premiered May 17, 2022, as a New York Times Op-Doc. The entire lead cast on this project - and the majority of the production and outreach crew - are people with disabilities.
The Common Senses Festival is expanding its mission beyond its autism-focused origins, now embracing a broader disability spectrum. The festival aligns with UNO’s commitment to accessibility, research, and community engagement.
