In early October, the renowned Heartland Film Festival awarded The Fish Don't Care When It Rains three major prizes including the Documentary Grand Prize, Documentary Audience Choice Award, and the Richard D. Propes Social Impact Documentary Award. Documenting the life of artist Jen Msumba --who spent years inside the Judge Rotenberg Center where painful electric shocks were used for punishment and behavior control-- the film is a powerful documentary that highlights how Jen survived, got out, and fought back. Telling her story through testimony, music and art, Jen's account of institutionalization exposes systemic failures while celebrating resilience, creativity, hope, and justice. COPAA sponsored the film and is pleased to offer members access to the accessible trailer where you can also learn how to view the film. COPAA remains steadfast in our opposition to the use of electrical stimulation devices which the Judge Rotenberg Center continues to use. We also advocate for passage of the Keeping All Students Safe Act (HR 6617/S.3448) which would prohibit the use of aversive behavioral interventions in K-12 schools
