Session 4

Directed by: Jean Rheem

First formed in 2002, Linda's autism social group has been meeting every Friday for the past 10 years. While the film celebrates their decade-long friendship, it also brings into light the looming inevitability of having to grow up. The film reveals a glimpse of each member's humanity beyond their diagnosis of autism as they come together to prepare their first Thanksgiving meal.
