WHEELCHAIR USERS TELL THEIR STORIES
IN ACCLAIMED DOCUMENTARIES
James LeBrecht said that FWD-Doc, funded by the Ford Foundation, Perspective Fund, Field of Vision and Jonathan Logan Family Foundation, has created a private database of people with disabilities who work in many aspects of filmmaking.
The database allows productions that want to be inclusive to get referrals for hiring industry professionals.
In association with filmmaking nonprofit Doc Society and supported by Netflix, FWD-Doc published “A Toolkit for Inclusion & Accessibility:
Changing the Narrative of Disability in Documentary Film,”
available as a free download on its website.
LeBrecht appreciates how the film industry has evolved.
“Thank goodness there are easier entry points than there
were 30 years ago.”
