Screening of LUKi and the Lights
November 12, 2024 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Join us for a special screening of LUKi & the Lights, an animated short film designed to help children understand ALS. Hosted by the I AM ALS Community Outreach Team, this free event will take place on Tuesday, November 12th, from 7 PM to 8 PM EST.
Sascha Groen and her late husband, Anjo Snijders, who was diagnosed with ALS/MND at 35, created LUKi to explain the disease to their young children. The film follows LUKi, a delightful robot whose life changes with his diagnosis, but with the support of his friends, he continues to shine bright. This 11-minute silent film is perfect for families, encouraging meaningful conversations.
A Q&A session will follow the screening, moderated by Lorri Carey, who lives with ALS and hosts the I’m Dying To Tell You podcast. This is a great chance to ask questions about the film, its potential Oscar nomination, and support resources for children and families affected by ALS/MND.
Director Toby Cochran, Producer Adrian Ochoa, and Global Neuro YCare founder Dr. Melinda S. Kavanaugh will be in attendance, eager to hear your thoughts and answer your questions.
Don’t miss this inspiring event!
