KINDERKRANKENHAUS

Written and Directed by JESI BENDER

In a vaguely familiar time and place, children gathered inside the grey walls of a hospital are given diagnoses they don’t understand and told to work towards correcting their ills… or face the consequences. KINDERKRANKENHAUS explores neurodiversity, the pathologizing of difference, and the complexity of labels in a world where the unspeaking are seen as unthinking.

Cast: Aryana Schneeman, Emma Countryman, Matilda Terrell, Kirston Markowski, J'Naia Stepp, Dominick Martell, Trinity Schneeman, Laura Phillips, Suzanne Rodio, Cindy McCormick
