Being Michelle follows the astonishing journey of a deaf and disabled woman who survived incarceration and abuse under unimaginable circumstances by a system that refused to accommodate her needs as a deaf person with autism.
 
 
 

Unlike large studios that have big production, advertising and publicity budgets, independent filmmakers often rely on small grants and donations to produce their work. Because of this patchwork funding landscape for indie filmmakers, we are rarely remunerated for the three - ten years it typically takes to make a high quality, well researched film. All donations made to the project help cover these enormous costs and allow us to continue this important work. All donations are tax deductible through our 501(c)3 nonprofit Thriving Roots Initiative.

The BEING MICHELLE team collaborated with Michelle for over 5 years to bring her story to the world. We truly believe in the power of this film to change the way Deaf and Disabled people are treated in social and criminal justice systems. Thank you for helping us bring this important story to the world! #RightToCommunication
