Being Heumann (2026)

Overview · Where to watch · Cast & crew · Reviews

Based on a true revolution.

Scrappy, defiant, and done being treated like a burden, Judy Heumann turns her outrage into a revolution. In 1977, she and more than 100 disability rights protestors send a very loud message: The system is broken—not us.
