Ella Glendining's Disability Doc 'Is There Anybody Out There?' Trailer

"I love & respect my body. Being this way is not the problem. It's what you do next that matters." Madman Films in Australia has unveiled a new official trailer for a documentary film titled Is There Anybody Out There?, made by filmmaker Ella Glendining. This premiered at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. It also played at SXSW & Hot Docs in the spring. While navigating daily discrimination, a director who inhabits and loves her unusual body searches the world for another person like her, and explores what it takes to love oneself fiercely despite the pervasiveness of ableism. Sundance adds this intro: "Are people born this way to be “fixed” by medicine? Is it ableist to see disabled people as living an undesired existence? With warmth and an infectious joy for her body and life as it is, Glendining takes you on an unforgettable experience that will change how you see others, like and unlike you." It is an important and empowering film digging deep into a personal experience to help us all understand more about the disabled perspective. // Continue Reading ›
