Amazing Fantasy Fest proudly announces the World Premiere of Special Needs Revolt, directed by Adrian Esposito-Nomeika, who created the story and co-wrote the screenplay with Bill Weeden and Curt Markham. This is Adrian's epic action/comedy/political satire in the Troma mold: we screened his first crowdfunding trailer for this project at Buffalo Dreams Fantastic Film Festival a few (?) years ago, and he tirelessly worked to make it happen. In a future dystopia, a man with Down syndrome joins a rebellion against America's cruel dictator who has put all people with disabilities onto institutions.
