(The following is Concord filmmaker Dan Habib’s director’s statement for his new documentary, “Intelligent Lives.")

“If Micah, Naomie and Naieer had been born in the first half of the 20th century, their parents would have likely been counseled to send their children to live in an institution alongside hundreds or thousands of other people with disabilities. They might have been among the approximately 65,000 Americans forcibly sterilized in order to “improve the stock” of humanity during the U.S. eugenics movement. As recently as 1975, Micah, Naieer and Naomie would not have had legal access to a public education.

But Micah was born in 1984. Today he is student at Syracuse University with a vibrant social life, a job co-teaching university classes, a sophisticated grasp of social media – and an IQ of 40. Naieer was born in 1999. He is a talented visual artist, immersed in general education classes and basketball games at a public high school in Dorchester, Mass. Naomie is 25, she sings and dances in her Providence, R.I., Creole church alongside her hip-hop producer brother, and she is working toward her first paid job.”
