SUMMARY:"Disposable Humanity" JFilm Screening
DESCRIPTION:A ReelAbilities Film Co-presented with Achieva & the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh \n\nTracing the eugenicist roots of Nazi Germany’s genocide\, DISPOSABLE HUMANITY confronts the little-known history of the Aktion T4 program\, a state-sanctioned campaign that led to the murder of more than 300\,000 disabled people between 1939 and 1941. Carried out by physicians under the guise of “mercy killings\,” T4 not only devastated lives but also laid the technological and bureaucratic groundwork for the Nazi death camps. Spanning over two decades of research and filmmaking\, director Cameron S. Mitchell and his collaborators weave together archival records\, testimony from descendants\, and insights from historians\, disability scholars\, and activists to examine why this atrocity remained absent from public memory for so long. At once intimate and urgent\, the film offers a timely reminder of how fascism exploits prevailing ideas about health\, purity\, and human worth. \nWinner: Slamdance Audience Award and Grand Jury Honorable Mention \n\nThis program will be followed by a talkback with Randall Halle (Director of the European Studies Center\, University of Pittsburgh) and Daniel Singleton (Holocaust Center Of Pittsburgh). \n\nLearn more and register here.
