Invisible Impact; Disability on Climate Change’s Frontline. Jason Strother. USA. 2024. 19m. Film Festival, UK & online premiere. DDD. With Audio description. People with disabilities face greater risks as global warming intensifies disasters throughout coastal South Asia. The film reveals how the needs of this community are often overlooked before, during and after an emergency. In Bangladesh, eastern India, Sri Lanka and the Maldives, Disabled people already face barriers that limit their full participation in society and because they are unseen, their concerns are often left out of policies that are meant to save lives.

Rising Tides, Raising Voices. Jody Santos. USA. 2024. 14:41. UK & European Premiere. With audio description. DDD. FFF. Facing rising sea levels and ecological destruction, Indigenous Pacific Islanders with disabilities race against time to ensure that when the next disaster strikes, no one is left behind. https://disabilityjusticeproject.org/rising-tides-raising-voices/
