Inspiring Full Trailer For BEING HEUMANN Based on the Revolutionary Disability Rights Activist Judy Heumann

The full trailer has been released for the inspiring film Being Heumann, based on the revolutionary activist Judy Heumann and the disability rights she fought for in 1977 in San Francisco.

The film was written and directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Sian Heder (CODA), and it stars Ruth Madeley in the title role, with Mark Ruffalo, Madeline Delp, Dylan O'Brien, Will Brill, Michael Patrick Thornton, Antwan Tolliver, Rein Barcel, and Charlie Rush-Reese.

The synopsis reads: ”They wouldn't take Judy Heumann’s phone calls, so she took their building. Back in 1977, a young disabled woman (Ruth Madeley) and a scrappy coalition of outsiders decide they've had enough.

“What begins as one impulsive act becomes the longest occupation of a federal building in American history, as hundreds spontaneously seize government offices & refuse to leave until the bureaucrat in their way (Mark Ruffalo) takes action.

“Bringing rebellion in all its forms to the hallowed halls, a movement’s accidental leaders struggle to find their path forward where none has ever been paved for them.

“Directed by Academy Award winner Sian Heder and based on true events, Being Heumann is the revolutionary, irreverent and deeply human story of the least likely people trying to pull off the impossible and change the lives of millions.”

This looks incredibly inspiring and interesting, and it tells a piece of our history that we should all know! Check out the trailer below, and watch Being Heumann in select US theaters on November 6th, 2026, then streaming on Apple TV on November 13th, 2026.
