(Canada, 2024, 40 min)
Based on Steven Verdile’s popular web publication, The Squeaky Wheel, and produced by Hitsby Entertainment, The Squeaky Wheel: Canada is an eight-episode satirical half-hour news format that pokes fun at the ableist society people with disabilities face every day.
Directed by Lucy Belgum and Tobi Abdul, the series stars Graham Kent and Gaitrie Persaud as lead anchors. The ensemble cast of Margaret Rose, Samantha Wyss, Sivert Das, Wesley Magee-Saxton and Yousef Kadoura are on the scene, ready to take on absurd situations and characters, including flipping the script and embodying obnoxious able-bodied/neurotypical personalities.
NYC Premiere of The Squeaky Wheel: Canada! The screening is a collection of favorite moments from The Squeaky Wheel: Canada season one, followed by a Q+A with the show's creative team.
Cost: $10.00 Members / $10.00 Public
