July is Disability Pride Month. Move to Include is pleased to join our friends at POV in honoring the legacy of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and celebrating the strength, creativity, and resilience of disabled communities through a special collection of documentaries.

From intimate personal journeys to stories of advocacy, identity, and collective action, these films explore what it means to navigate the world on your own terms and challenge assumptions about disability.
