There are not many disabled filmmakers that are getting recognition. However, there are many diverse voices that are trying to make a difference in the film industry. Here are a few we would like to highlight.

Disabled people are here. We have always been here. We are your family. We are your friends. We deserve to be represented fairly.

LET'S TALK ABOUT DISABLED TROPES

Every marginalized community experiences tropes in representation. For disability, this is largely because the disabled community doesn’t often get to create their own films.

[Code of the Freaks @CodeOfTheFreaks]

Regardless of the trope, disabled tropes cause harm. Disabled tropes prevent disabled people from being treated like human beings. It’s time for a new message about disability in film.
