Disability Liberated: Mourn the Dead and Fight Like Hell for
the Living maps the intersections of policing, imprisonment,
and the disabled body. As Sins Invalid’s newest documentary,
Disability Liberated aspires to step into the conspicuous void
within critiques of the “prison industrial complex” – namely the
absence of discussion of disability oppression, despite the
disproportionate representation of people with disabilities within prisons and gated institutions. Centering the stories and voices of people surviving violence within the intersections of ableism and the prison industrial complex, the documentary is a furious mourning, an elegy to all that we have lost, and a promise to fight like hell for all that survives.
Sins Invalid is a disability justice based performance project
centering disabled artists of color and queer / gender non-
conforming disabled artists.
