The 7th Annual ReelAbilities: NY Disabilities Film Festival Presents: Mimi and Dona
The 7th Annual ReelAbilities: NY Disabilities Film Festival Presents:

Mimi and Dona
Sophie Sartain, 2014, 66 min.

What happens when love runs out of time? For a 92-year-old mother, Mimi, who has cared 64 years for Dona, a daughter who has an intellectual disability, it means facing the inevitable  she will not outlive her daughter  and finding her daughter a home. This poignant, heartbreaking and, at times, humorous documentary traces this process through the story of a wonderfully quirky and deeply connected mother-daughter duo. The film spotlights the challenges of aging caregivers of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities  some 4.6 million Americans, 75% of whom live at home with family  and details the ripple effects of Dona's disability on three generations of a Texas family.

Q&A with director Sophie Sartain.
