Join Prof. Ezra Winton and Maria Aleksandrova for a conversation about Ableism, Disability Rights and Direct Action. Defiant Lives introduces the world to the most impressive activists you’ve never heard of and tells the story of the rise and fight of the disability rights movement in the United States, Britain and Australia. Defiant Lives is a triumphant film full of extraordinary characters who put their lives on the line to create a better and very different world where everyone regardless of impairment is valued and can participate. This is a Keywords in Media Studies event, which is co-sponsored by Cinema Politica and the Department of Media Studies at AUBG.
