In January of 2017, the Taishoff Center in collaboration with Syracuse University Los Angeles hosted a short pre-viewing session of Intelligent Lives in Los Angeles and San Fransisco called Redefining Inclusion. At each session, Micah participated in a post film discussion with other disability advocates, including the filmmaker, Dan Habib! Excitingly, videos of these sessions are now available to watch online.
