Film Summary: Over 20 years after Emily Felter is diagnosed with Down syndrome, paramedic (and Emily's father) Tom develops a presentation to share her story with other first responders.

About the See Me Series

The See Me Series was created as one way for the department to emphasize identity and representation on campus, in the community, and as part of American culture. 

The Department of Mass Media, housed in the Holland College of Arts and Media, is asking the entire campus to consider making films in the See Me Series and themes a part of their classes and encourage participation. As an accredited department, Mass Media prioritizes diversity and inclusion as one of its top priorities.
