SPECIAL EVENT Feature Documentary Written and Produced by Amy Brenneman and Sabrina Peck
USA • 2024 • 60 min.
SCREENING In this autobiographical journey infused with music and movement, celebrated actress
Overcome Amy Brenneman (Judging Amy, Private Practice, The Leftovers, Goliath, Heat, The Old Man)
takes us along as she learns how to become a true ally to her daughter Charlotte, born with a
rare chromosomal abnormality. Years of testing and assessment yield frustratingly few results,
leading Brenneman to surrender to a new path forward. Funny, poignant, and powerful,
Friday, July 25 at 7:30pm “Overcome” takes a bold look at preconceptions of disability, what we consider “normal,” and
Redfield Auditorium the promise/challenge of a truly inclusive society.
Q&A following the film This is a recording of a performance presented at the Cotuit Center for the Arts, March 2024.
