The day is finally here! We’re happy to finally announce the virtual premiere of Good Bad Things, streaming on VEEPS from Friday, September 20th at 6 pm PST - Sunday, September 22nd at 11:59 PST. 25% of your ticket price will benefit MDA's mission to empower the neuromuscular community to live longer, more independent lives.

“Good Bad Things is the movie I wish I had seen on a screen 20 years ago as a young adult living with a disability, unsure of how I fit into the world around me. Living your life, never seeing anyone on a screen, in a magazine or on a stage who looks like you is lonely. This movie and the inclusion it stands for is so needed and the reach of the cinema is powerful. This is how we will change the world for the 61 million people living in the United States with disabilities,” said Mindy Henderson, Vice President, Disability Outreach & Empowerment, Muscular Dystrophy Association.
