From award-winning filmmaker Dan Habib comes INTELLIGENT LIVES. INTELLIGENT LIVES stars 
three pioneering young American adults with intellectual disabilities – Micah, Naieer, and Naomie – 
who challenge perceptions of intelligence as they navigate high school, college, and the workforce. 
Academy Award-winning actor and narrator Chris Cooper contextualizes the lives of these central 
characters through the emotional personal story of his son Jesse, as the film unpacks the shameful and 
ongoing track record of intelligence testing in the U.S. INTELLIGENT LIVES challenges what it means to 
be intelligent, and points to a future in which people of all abilities can fully participate in higher 
education, meaningful employment and intimate relationships.
