  "account": "Apple TV has unveiled the trailer for \"Being Heumann,\" a new Apple Original Film directed by Academy Award-winning director Siân Heder, known for her work on \"CODA.\" The trailer showcases the movie's impressive ensemble cast, which Apple TV describes as \"the largest assortment of Disabled actors ever.\" The film is set to premiere on Apple TV on November 13, following a limited theatrical release on November 6.\n\n\"Being Heumann\" tells the true story of a 28-day occupation of the San Francisco Federal Building by disability rights protesters in 1977. The film features a mix of drama and humor as it follows a young disabled woman and a group of outsiders who decide they've had enough, eventually occupying the federal building until their demands are met. The story highlights the movement's accidental leaders as they struggle to find their path forward in a system that has never paved a way for them.\n\nThe film is based on true events and is directed and produced by Siân Heder, whose 2021 film \"CODA\" earned Apple its first Best Picture Oscar in 2022. The ensemble cast includes notable actors such as Mark Ruffalo (Spotlight), Dylan O'Brien (Teen Wolf), and Rob Delaney (Bad Monkey).\n\n\"Being Heumann\" is the latest addition to Apple TV's lineup, which includes popular TV shows and movies such as Ted Lasso, Severance, The Studio, The Morning Show, Shrinking, and Silo.",
