Deaf President Now! follows the 1988 student protest at Gallaudet University, a school for deaf and hard-of-hearing students, when a hearing candidate was elected over other deaf candidates. The film recently had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January and was released last May by Apple Original Films.
 
The film is rated TV-MA, and Common Sense Media says 13+. This event is hosted by DA's Student Senate.
