WE ARE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE | ADULTS WITH DISABILITIES | THE FILM
We have disability representation from Ghana, India, Taiwan, Chile, Canada, UK and the US. We live in a world that for too long has centered on the rights and needs of non-disabled persons. Our documentary challenges the notion of beauty and centers on the lived experience of people who live with disabilities. We believe this film can make a significant contribution to the disability justice movement, help raise disability awareness and deconstruct norms embedded in cultures worldwide.
Our film presents intimate and unforgettable stories collected from a wide array of persons with disabilities from around the world. We are honored to share these authentic experiences with an international audience.
Our world is centered on the rights and needs of non-disabled people. Interviews in the film provide rich insights and substantiate the marginalization of interviewees’ experiences including themes of ableism, racism, intersectionality, worldwide inequities, and the difference between Disability Rights and Disability Justice.
In a social media driven culture, humankind pursues superficial concepts of beauty. Our film challenges these notions and pulls back the veil, urging people to rethink how they engage with all humans in the world. Please follow us on IG, FB and YT @wearethemostbeautifulpeple. Thank you!
