Faith: Treasure Maps
Faith Harris, 21, lives in Lawrenceville, GA. Her favorite hobbies include traveling, swimming, competing in Special Olympics, watching YouTube videos, and playing board games with her family. She loves loving on people! She loves to pray over everyone, listening when asking a person how they are doing, and making them laugh when they are feeling down. Next spring, she plans to work, play, and volunteer in her community.
This is just one story from “Treasure Maps,” which showcases a collage of ten (10) Georgia storytellers’ experiences with an up-close and personal viewpoint into what it’s like navigating the complex webs of life in our communities as a person with a developmental disability. Themes include…
*starting your own business
*friendship
*going to college
*alienation & acceptance
*living with the physical aspects of disability
*and how transformative living a full inclusion life can be.
This show is proudly presented by the Georgia Council on Developmental Disabilities and L’arche Atlanta, in partnership with Resurgens Impact Consulting and StoryMuse. The film was made by Xerophile.
This film was the feature part of Treasure Maps: The Georgia Storytelling Roadshow, a pop-up, interactive, outdoor theatre that took place in six cities across Georgia. Each event included live-local hosts, interactive activities, installations, food trucks, and a screening of the film.
