The Fish Don't Care When It Rains

Directed by Jennifer Msumba and Siobhan Silén, this heartfelt documentary recounts the harrowing, yet resilient journey of Msumba, an autistic artist, musician, and filmmaker. Institutionalized at age 15, she survived seven years inside the notorious Judge Rotenberg Center—a facility infamous for using painful electric skin shocks as a form of behavioral modification. Part exposé, part inspirational testimony, the film celebrates Msumba as she reclaims her voice, processes her trauma, and builds a vibrant, creative life.
