Our education based, groundbreaking film challenges societal norms, exploring profound themes of ableism, racism, intersectionality, and the distinction between Disability Rights and Disability Justice. It challenges the notions of beauty and centers on the lived experiences of adults with disabilities. This is the first film uniting a minority, the largest minority, Persons with Disabilities, that spans the globe.

While understanding that ableism and inspiration porn are embedded in our culture, we want to share stories authentically and unapologetically. It is packed with stories and information to educate and high light adults with disabilities.
