12 Mar Birthright – The Joy Trip Project
This poignant short film by Sean Mullens is a portrait of humanity’s struggle toward our inherent excellence. One man’s daily challenge to overcome his disability and indulge a desire for ecstatic play models for the rest of us the joy that can be achieved in perseverance.
“You can transcend,” the film’s star Michael says. “You can get to a place where you’re sort of free, to be able to dance, to be able to be fluid, to be able to be so in the moment, to just be natural…to be what you were meant to be.”

Posted at 11:14h, 13 MarchSo true. I sometimes take my husband's disability for granted because he is so "able." Important to remember and sometimes it is because of pieces like this. Thanks for posting!
