As part of our series recognising the 25th anniversary of the Disability Discrimination Act we have a list of must-watch films either made by or about people with disabilities. It's a cracking list - how many have you seen? #DDA25 https://www.raisingfilms.com/the-watch-dda-season/
Shortlisted for @TheAcademy awards @CripCampFilm is available to watch on @netflix - made by and about people with disabilities, this film documents the fight for disability rights in the USA.
Made by @justin104films #SpecialPeople is available to watch for free on @BFIPlayer here. In the short film, a filmmaker enrols five disabled teenagers for a film project about the ‘struggle’ they go through every day https://player.bfi.org.uk/free/film/watch-special-people-2004-online
Produced by @justin104films #BattleLines is a drama about a Deaf man who looks for acceptance in his local community after being told he cannot serve in the First World War.

And this spring, watch out for @ReasonIJumpFilm and #TheSoundofMetal which are already winning awards all over the world.
