In honor of Disability Awareness Month, The UW Disability Staff and Faculty Association (DSFA) is partnering with DO-IT (Disabilities, Opportunities, Internetworking, and Technology), the UW Disability Studies Program, and the UW Honors Program to host a virtual screening of an incredible award-winning film: The Ride Ahead. The film by 21-year-old Samuel Habib documents his journey into adulthood and finding community, largely shown from the point of view of two GoPros attached to his wheelchair.   

It is incredibly rare to see authentic disability representation in media, especially when disabled people are involved both on screen and behind the scenes. Whether you are disabled-identifying or not, this film encompasses countless themes that touch on all our experiences, while highlighting the importance of disabled community, insights, joy, and building solidarity in an ableist world.
