A screening of the compelling documentary Emmanuel’s Gift which follows the inspirational actions of a young man born in Ghana with a severely deformed leg and his determination to show the world the value of persons with disabilities. Discussion following the film will include a short presentation about Tom L’Italien’s cross-country journey in the USA to raise awareness of the increasing rate of suicides among veterans and to inspire support for prevention programs.
