On Oct. 30, AT&T* will premiere RESOLUTION: Innovative Thinking about Disability.” The compelling new program features organizations empowering people with disabilities to live their best lives.
With the production of this program, AT&T aims to elevate the stories of people who are on the front lines of social change in the U.S.
“RESOLUTION provides an inside view into 5 organizations as they share incredible personal stories of perseverance and strength directly from the founders and individuals who have benefited from their programs,” said Charlene Lake, Senior Vice President Public Affairs and Chief Sustainability Officer, AT&T.
The program will air Sunday at 2:00 ET on the AT&T AUDIENCE Network. It’s available exclusively to DIRECTV (Ch 239) and AT&T U-verse (Ch 1114) customers. Following the initial airing, customers will also be able to watch On Demand through 2017.
