Forget Me Not (2021): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 2021, Forget Me Not is a documentary film directed by Olivier Bernier, running about 100 minutes. “Will Emilio be included? Two parents of a child with Down syndrome intimately document their navigation through America's largest and most segregated school system.” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. As 3-year-old Emilio is ready to start school, his family finds itself cornered in the United States' most segregated education system - New York City public schools. Fighting for their son's right to an inclusive education - where Emilio and other children with disabilities would be taught alongside their classmates without disabilities - film director Olivier and his wife Hilda investigate the personal stories of students and their parents in the US. With children with disabilities worldwide less likely to attend school, these experiences expose just a handful of the widespread injustices currently taking place in the educational system and beyond for kids with disabilities. Forget Me Not reveals a path to a more inclusive society that starts with welcoming diversity in the classroom.
