Outside of Ireland, there are also a number of great moments in disabled history that should definitely appear in a film: I bring you The Capitol Crawl as my first example. Not many people know about this one (I didn't until I first got into disabled history)
On March 12th 1990 (because that's how new disabled rights are!), more than 60 activists abandoned their wheelchairs to crawl up the Capitol Steps in Washington DC. It followed 3 days of rallies surrounding the American With Disabilities Act (the beautiful ADA)
Imagine THAT in a film. Particularly the stark image of 8 year old Jennifer Keelan who was one of the main symbols of the protest. Not long after, the ADA was signed into law because of disabled activists (not because of a certain president who is credited)
There are a few grainy videos of the day itself but mostly, no concrete film footage exists. Same with activists chaining themselves and laying down in front of busses which were off limits to disabled people. Disabled protest is film gold, because you'll never see anger like it.
