I had a similar experience watching Christine Sun Kim’s film; I found her ability to embrace her disability truly inspiring. Watching as she navigates life despite communication struggles and feeling trapped was moving, and is an eye-opener to how often we forget the experiences of people living with disabilities in everyday life.
