“My heart’s still functioning, my brain’s still functioning…and don’t hold me back, because I won’t allow it,” says the disabled star of a new Netflix film. Kudos to Netflix for honoring the 30th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act by streaming these seven films that tell real stories: Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution, Love on the Spectrum, Father Soldier Son, The Speed Cubers, Audible, Rising Phoenix (coming 8/26), and Deaf U (coming 10/9). Check out the awesome trailer and celebrate the ADA while learning more about this community.
