Description

This film follows the stories of several artists with developmental disabilities working with the non-profit The Arc San Francisco and civic artists from Free Space to paint a wall-sized mural that aims to erase barriers. The film explores the unlimited nature of art and its capacity to express freedom, even for those individuals whose lives seem to be confined to the boundaries of their disabilities.

    SFUFF 2017 / 180 mins
    How do urban storytellers align themselves to amplify their messages in battling today’s entrenched public policy problems? With the advent of social media and the democratization of production tools anyone can be a civic whistleblower. The real work is in connecting and nurturing new networks that may have not had access to each other.
