Pride. Disability Pride

Announcing Pride, a documentary following three disabled Chicago artists (a painter, dancer, and musician) as they navigate physical, social and attitudinal barriers in order to live, work, and thrive in a world that was not designed for them. The film highlights disability as a universal human experience and natural part of human diversity in which people with disabilities take pride their heritage and culture.

"In the ideal world, my differences, though noted, would not be devalued. Nor would I. Soci­ety would accept my experience as "disability culture," which would, in turn, be accepted as part of "human diversity." There would be respectful curios­ity about what I have learned from my differences that I could teach society. In such a world, no one would mind being called Disabled.”  

Carol Gill (Questioning Continuum, 1994), as quoted in Nothing About Us Without Us: Disability Oppression and Empowerment, University of California Press: Berkeley.
