Pressing Buttons (2024)
Overview
Disability Pride is about recognizing all aspects of the disability experience — including the tough aspects. An authentic representation of disability advocate Sarah Todd Hammer’s life, 'PRESSING BUTTONS: Disability Goes Deeper than What You See' is a compelling mini documentary that opens the doors into her experiences with both disabled joy and disabled grief. From becoming paralyzed from the neck down at age eight to heading off to college, we learn about the challenges Sarah Todd navigates in her daily life. Perhaps the most sobering message of all is that we will never truly understand.
