Building Awareness through Reel Eyes

Reel Eyes is a community-wide effort to showcase films by and about individuals with disabilities. Both mainstream productions and documentaries are shown at multiple locations each year during the month of March.

Film showings on the Anchorage campus are free and open to the public. There is also an optional 1 credit 500 level course offered through PACE for those who wish to document their participation for professional development.
