"Went straight from learning how to walk, to learning how to moonwalk." Discovery+ debuted an official trailer for an indie documentary film titled Crutch, years in the making telling the story of artist / dancer Bill Shannon. This premiered at the 2020 DOC NYC Film Festival last fall, and played at the Bentonville Film Festival this year. The film is a profile of Bill Shannon, aka "Crutch Master," who is a multi-disciplinary artist that defies definition and gravity. He lives his life, including dancing and skateboarding, on crutches and doesn't let that stop him. Crutch also dives into Bill's provocative street performances, during which he exposes the hidden world of assumptions disabled people encounter in public, on a daily basis. While the film questions his early exploitation of strangers' good Samaritan impulses, it also marvels at Bill's ability to create solutions and empower others in similar challenges. From a childhood "cripple" to an international provocateur, Crutch is the story of a one-of-a-kind artist's struggle to be understood. This looks super dope. ›››
