"Unmet: North Carolina's Two Developmental Disability Crises" is a 25-minute film commissioned by the North Carolina Council on Developmental Disabilities. It shows the real-life situations of individuals with intellectual or other developmental disabilities (I/DD) and what it looks like when their needs are unmet.

The Council has hosted multiple screenings to welcome the community inside the homes of people with I/DD to show the real stories and experiences when needs are unmet.

Previous Screenings include:

  • April 17, 2023 (virtual)
  • May 10, 2023 (Greenville, NC)
  • June 9, 2023 (Asheville, NC)
  • March 23, 2024 - Spanish-language film showing (Charlotte, NC)
