SUMMARY:'96 lbs. of Dynamite': A ReelAbilities Film Screening and Q&A
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for this free screening of the new documentary film 96 lbs. of Dynamite\, followed by a Q&A with people involved in the film moderated by FIT Film and Media Professor Emma Ben Ayoun. This screening is part of ReelAbilities Film Festival 2026\, a festival celebrating disability-focused media worldwide. \nAbout 96 lbs. of Dynamite\nWhen filmmaker Loren Goldfarb first notices Chad “Shorty” McDaniel in a Florida pool hall\, he underestimates the man using the motorized wheelchair\, until Chad starts winning. A lot. “96 lbs. of Dynamite”  follows Chad\, a witty\, fierce pool player born with brittle bone disease\, as he battles low expectations\, discrimination\, and physical barriers on his journey from a rural Mississippi upbringing to high-stakes amateur tournaments out West. As Chad confronts personal loss and life-altering choices\, the film presents an energetic\, humorous\, and deeply personal portrait of a man who\, despite being told he wouldn’t survive childhood\, refuses to shrink his life\, or his ambition. \nThis event is free and open to the public.
