In addition to the film, the Office of Disability Resources and Alpha Phi Omega will provide a free meal of wings, candy, and soft drinks, along with a discussion of the film afterwards.

"And really, what's a better way to relax after the last full week of class than that?

" Sampson also advised student attendance to the film screening, saying, "All students should attend and learn about persons with disabilities.

Most of us will either face [our] own acquired disability or have a family member who has a disability," she said.

The brothers of Alpha Phi Omega have a history with the Office of Disability Resources.

In addition, the brothers have been instrumental in raising awareness for other diseases, recently with their March for Marfan.
