Abstract: The director of
Full Picture, Jacob Reed, and the film's subject, Santina
Muha, will join a Zoom discussion and screening moderated by Jasmia
Bojic, Director of Stanford Arts Camera as Witness Program.
Film Description: Actress,
comedian, and activist, Santina Muha, has been a wheelchair user since
she was six years old. With meetings, hangouts, and classes happening virtually
due to the Coronavirus quarantine, she's experiencing something new: choosing
when (or if) to disclose her disability. Shot entirely over video chat, Santina
meets strangers without mentioning her wheelchair. Will this cause them to
focus more on what they have in common than their differences? How will their
opinions of Santina change after they learn she’s a wheelchair user? Will
Santina learn anything about her own biases?
