Post Screening Discussion with filmmaker 
Laurel Chiten

It took 20 years and countless doctors for filmmaker Laurel Chiten to be properly diagnosed with a form of dystonia, a neurological disorder that forces muscles to involuntarily contract and twist. TWISTED tells the stories of people who live with dystonia, a neurological disorder that forces your muscles to twist into abnormal, often painful, movements or postures.

Wednesday | December 6th | 2006

SHADYA tells the story of a girl who strives to succeed on her own terms—while remaining committed to her life in her community.  Seventeen-year-old Shadya Zoabi is a world champion in karate. But despite her father’s support, her brothers and other members of their small Arab village in northern Israel feel that karate is not an appropriate pursuit for a young Muslim woman.
