Run Time: 42 min. Rating: Not Rated Release Year: 2025
What happens when the safety net disappears? Raising Bar sheds light on "the cliff"—the moment when young adults with intellectual disabilities lose school support at age 22, leaving many isolated at home. For Bar Swain and his parents, this harsh reality sparked a transformative journey. After discovering the Camphill School, where Bar thrived in ways they never imagined, they set out to create something revolutionary: High Spirit Community Farm, a place offering stability, purpose, and true community. This inspiring documentary follows their fight to redefine what adulthood can look like for individuals like Bar. A Q&A follows the screening.
