Well over 50,000 YouTube views now, and getting mentioned in the news. 🙂
(Unlike Sia's film, #LISTEN had no marketing budget. Word about this short film was simply spread by the community.) xitter.gq/Communica1st/status/13…
"For more on the topic, I recommend starting with the short film produced by CommunicationFIRST and the essays by Mickayla and Hari Srinivasan." @Communica1st #LISTEN #ListenToNonspeakers #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs bit.ly/37NlrxW

Kate Hudson (who plays Zu) said on national television that the controversy around the film raises "an important dialogue".
But nonspeaking autistic people are not being brought into that dialogue on national TV.
When is a dialogue a dialogue?

For a background to the film, visit this page, where you'll also find a downloadable #LISTEN toolkit for training via discussion groups and watch parties. The toolkit addresses a variety of topics relevant to understanding nonspeaking autists.

Since the US release of Sia's movie MUSIC, nearly 50,000 people have watched this film called #LISTEN, made by and with nonspeaking autistic people. Watch:
#LISTEN, a short film made by and with nonspeaking autistic people, was launched on Friday to coincide with the US launch of #SiaMusic. (Sia did NOT fulfil her offer to sponsor a short film.) To date, LISTEN has had more than 31,000 views on YouTube. youtube.com/watch?v=H7dca7U7…
