As 3-year-old Emilio prepares to start school; his family finds itself embroiled in a challenge all too common for children with disabilities -- to secure the right to an inclusive education. Cornered in one of the most segregated education systems, New York City public schools, filmmaker Olivier and his wife Hilda turn the camera on themselves and their child with Down syndrome, as they navigate a byzantine system originally designed to silo children with disabilities. Emilio's parents learn from other families who have fought against the injustices built into the educational system while they continue their own battle for their son's future. Forget Me Not reveals a path to a more inclusive society that starts with welcoming diversity in the classroom.

Tina Kakadelis Beyond the Cinerama Dome The final moments of Forget Me Not play out like the damning confession of Robert Durst in The Jinx. It’s a confession caught on a hot mic that proves how fundamentally broken the school system is. Jul 24, 2023 Full Review Christopher Llewellyn Reed Hammer to Nail And given that this inspiring movie was made with the help of a vast array of folks with intellectual disabilities (as the end credits display), inclusion clearly can work.
