APBDRF’s 11 minute Short Documentary “Life Through a Lens” was accepted as an official selection to the 2017 Global Impact Film Festival and will have its Washington DC Premier on the weekend of August 25th.

As the film captures, Robert empowers those living with the challenges, physical and otherwise, brought on by APBD and all debilitating diseases.
