The film is the first part of a documentary series on ADAPT - explores the unique and controversial history of this grassroots disability rights group. Through civil disobedience and political savvy, ADAPT has fought discrimination and segregation for over 35 years. They have played major, if little-known, roles in key U.S. laws and policies, including the ADA and Money Follows the Person. This film covers ADAPT’s roots beginning with the liberation of people with disabilities from nursing homes to the fight for accessible transportation. With over 40 interviews, never-before-seen footage and stunning images from Tom Olin, Piss on Pity: We Will Ride gives voice to activists, old and new, who are on the front-lines of disability rights history.
