Film Summary: Simon, Scott, and Sarah—a trio of activists with intellectual disabilities—hold a town hall meeting, desperate to save the world from the future impacts of Artificial Intelligence. What begins as a polite discussion quickly descends into bickering and chaos, and as the meeting unravels, they discover the greatest threat to their future is already in the room.

A nuanced and witty criticism of ableism and societal hierarchy, the film is based on the award-winning play The Shadow Whose Prey the Hunter Becomes.

Parking: Summit DD’s parking lot can be accessed from 2nd Street or Front Street.  For your convenience, front door drop-off is also available.
