Freedom Machines
This program, by Jamie Stobie and Janet Cole, takes a new look at disability through the lens of technology. The experiences of a group of unforgettable people let viewers re-examine ideas about ability and disability grounded in culture and attitudes. Engineers, designers and users challenge barriers inherent in built environments and reveal the gap between the promises of the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act and everyday reality for the 54 million Americans with disabilities. Whether mainstream technology or extraordinary inventions such as stair-climbing wheelchairs, "Freedom Machines" reveals both the power and limitations of technology to change lives.
