LOVE AFTER WAR DOCUMENTARY FILM

CANDID AND EXPERT STORYTELLING ABOUT 

DISABILITY, INTIMACY, SEXUALITY AND COMPASSION

A 1982 diving accident resulted in Tepper’s cervical spinal cord injury. 

His pursuit of knowledge about the intersection of sexuality and disability started in rehab and became a decades-long career as a researcher, educator, consultant, author, and now filmmaker.

Tepper’s association with United Spinal also began in rehab.

“After I broke my neck, somebody visited me in my room and my mother signed me up as a member,’’ he said.

“I got very involved in leadership roles through the 1980s with what then was the National Spinal Cord Injury Association Connecticut Chapter, eventually serving as their President before moving on to be Executive Vice President of the national organization (NSCIA).”
