Students gathered at Harbour Centre on Monday for professor David Mitchell’s examination of the one-time X-rated 1969 film, Midnight Cowboy, which follows a male prostitute and his sickly friend who struggle to survive on the streets of New York City. 

Mitchell discussed how the film represented the “alternative lived experience of queer/crip relations in late liberalism” and explored how the subjective experiences of the disabled can alter the collective consciousness.
