A documentary built from the performances, debates, and late-night talk of disabled artists and scholars at a Disability and the Arts conference, filmed so the disabled performers literally tower over the viewer. An early, electric record of disability culture talking on its own terms, featuring Kenny Fries, Carrie Sandahl, Cheryl Marie Wade, and others. Foundational viewing and a primary source.
