Is There Anybody Out There?
By Ella Glendining
Born with a disability so rare that no reliable statistics on it exist, filmmaker Ella Glendinning asks if there is anyone who could share the experiences of living in a body like hers. This question, which non-disabled people so often take for granted, leads her to meet others who live as she does, and also to realise that their meeting changes the way she sees herself in the wider world. Combining diaries, conversations with her family, with doctors and with people living with the same disability, "Is There Anybody Out There?" makes the audience reflect. Shouldn't society adapt to the multiplicity of personalities and bodies?
