FWD-Doc in association with Doc Society supported by Netflix presents:

A Toolkit for Inclusion & Accessibility: Changing the Narrative of Disability in Documentary Film

We find ourselves in an unprecedented moment of creative and financial opportunity for the documentary film industry, if we engage with authentic disabled storytelling and talent, make our media genuinely accessible, and better understand and cater to the world’s 1 billion D/deaf and disabled people — currently a seriously underserved audience for film.

This Toolkit for Inclusion & Accessibility has been created by FWD-Doc with Little by Little Films, in association with Doc Society and supported by Netflix, featuring a case study about Oscar-nominated Crip Camp (2020) and with a view to best practice, not just compliance.
