September's Spotlight Short is THE COCKROACH.

🎬 Directed and written by Mary Pat Bentel, this powerful, moving drama explores resilience, identity and vulnerability as one woman rebuilds her body and sense of self after a life-altering accident.

In the aftermath, she's angry, depressed and resentful. But slowly, Emily inches her way forward, learning to accept her new reality -- and even find something to celebrate about her physical self.

THE COCKROACH played at ReelAbilities Pittsburgh last year and won several awards on the festival circuit!

▶️ Watch now at FilmPittsburgh.org/Spotlight and be sure to explore this year’s festival, starting just two days!
