Description

Nearly 250,000 people with disabilities in the U.S. are legally paid less than the minimum wage, on average, less than $2 an hour. Bottom Dollars exposes the exploitation and segregation of people with disabilities through personal stories and expert interviews. The documentary calls for the phase out of this unfair practice and offers solutions for inclusive employment and fair wages here in Washington and across the country. Check out the trailer at www.BottomDollarsMovie.com

Join us for the first public screening of the film in the state of Washington. Following the film, you'll have the opportunity to ask questions to a panel including the filmmakers and local disability rights advocates, and find out how you can help create truly inclusive workplaces.
