In this powerful episode of Filmmaker Mixer, we speak with Cameron S. Mitchell and David T. Mitchell, the filmmakers behind Disposable Humanity, which premiered at Slamdance.
The film follows a family as they uncover the haunting legacy of the Nazi Aktion T4 program — a state-sanctioned campaign that murdered over 300,000 disabled people and laid the ideological groundwork for the Holocaust. We discuss the ethical responsibility of representing disability and trauma on screen, the family’s journey through suppressed history, and how Disposable Humanity reclaims voices lost to erasure and genocide.
