Documentary Screening and Discussion: “Deej – Inclusion shouldn’t be a lottery”

Deej is DJ Savarese, a nontalking autistic man who was abandoned by his birth parents and remained uneducated until his adoptive parents helped him pursue an education. This film deals with Deej’s transition to college life and the difficulties and growth that Deej pursues at Oberlin. Immediately following the movie screening, a question and answer (Q&A) session will be hosted by Benjamin Jones and Alexis Wilner to further unpack the film.
