Sisterly Documentary Screening
A documentary film about sisterhood and autism.
Sun, April 16, 2017 @ 07:00 pm - 08:00 pm
For the past three years, Nina Vallado, an undergraduate documentary film student at Andrews University, has been working on a film about the relationship herself and her younger sister, Lisa, and how autism has impacted their relationship. Through the support of the Documentary Program and a successful Kickstarter campaign, Nina Vallado has completed the film and is ready for its screening.
Lisa Vallado was diagnosed with autism at the age of two. Until the age of sixteen, Lisa was unable to communicate. These years of silence complicated the destined sisterhood Nina and Lisa were meant to have.
Sisterly delves into the personal struggles and accomplishments both Nina and Lisa encounter while seeking a meaningful sisterhood, despite the communication challenges autism presents.
The film will be screened on the campus of Andrews Univeristy on April 16, 2017 at 7PM in the Newbold Auditorium, Buller Hall. Admission is free and open to public. All ages are welcomed!
