Film Description



Freedom Machines dramatically broadens the concept of diversity through the intimate stories of adults and children with disabilities who are using modern technologies to change their lives.  Among them are Susanna who is beginning her college career, 38 year old Floyd Stewart who was paralyzed in mid-life while raising four children; 92 year old Gladys who is determined to overcome a hearing loss; and high school student Latoya Nesmith who dreams of becoming a translator at the U.N.  Fifteen years after passage of the ADA, Freedom Machines is a riveting reflection on the status of life of America’s largest minority group: 55 million people with disabilities.
