A voyage to different spaces of disability resistance and activism. How can we as disabled people struggle for a good life for everyone?
The film accompanies politically engaged chronically ill, d/Deaf, neurodivergent, disabled… people, and invites us to join the struggle. Our protagonists fight for many different causes, and resist exclusion in broader society as well as in political movements. In their struggles they use methods old and new, whether through party politics, online organising, demonstrations, or direct action.
We are there: in spaces for learning and networking, on protest sites, on the streets and at climbing actions. We get to know about actions and possibilities to build inclusive and accessible movements, and to oppose ableism.
Lian and Delila have been making films about political movements that they are part of for many years now. Their last film, „Radical Resilience“ (2020), was about burnout and regenerative activism. Through Lian’s chronic illness they discovered how it is to drop out of movements, and how ableism feels. These experiences led to the idea for „Chronically Radical“.
