Being Heumann (2026)
Based on a true revolution.
Scrappy, defiant, and done being treated like a burden, Judy Heumann turns her outrage into a revolution. In 1977, she and more than 100 disability rights protestors send a very loud message: The system is broken—not us.

What kind of watch this is
Being Heumann is a 2026 drama about Judy Heumann, a woman who decides to stop apologizing for existing. Directed by Sian Heder, it runs 127 minutes and centers on the 1977 protests where over 100 people demanded the system fix itself. Ruth Madeley plays Heumann. Mark Ruffalo and Dylan O'Brien round out the cast. The film leans into the noise of the movement rather than the silence of the bureaucracy. It is loud, messy, and unapologetic.
