Session 3: Taking Action
MA15+

Saturday July 16, 5.00pm
Sunday July 17, 6.30pm

There are many ways we can take action to change our lives and those of people around us. These films poke fun at common disability tropes and depictions (when was the last time you saw a disabled action hero on screen?) and show people changing their lives and other people’s understanding of how the world works.
