Forget Me Not: Inclusion in the Classroom (2021)

As 3-year-old Emilio prepares to start school, his family finds itself embroiled in a challenge all too common for children with disabilities - to secure the right to an inclusive education. Cornered in one of the most segregated education systems, New York City public schools, filmmaker Olivier and his wife Hilda turn the camera on themselves and their child with Down syndrome, as they navigate a byzantine system originally designed to silo children with disabilities. Emilio's parents learn from other families who have fought against the injustices built into the educational system while they continue their own battle for their son's future. Forget Me Not reveals a path to a more inclusive society that starts with welcoming diversity in the classroom. From Director Olivier Bernier and Featuring Sara Jo Soldovieri (Advocate), Lori Podvesker, (Director of Disability & Educational Policy, IncludeNYC ), David H. Rose, (Co-Creator of Universal Design for Learning), and Sue Swenson, (President, Inclusion International).
