“Who Am I To Stop It” is documentary on isolation, art, and transformation after brain injury. It is not designed to be inspirational simply because it features traumatic brain injury survivors. Instead, we look at very difficult questions around loneliness, stigma, poverty, and how people find their way in the world again. The film centers on art not as rehabilitation but as a tool for personal growth, meaningful work, and social change. The idea is to demedicalize disability and disability stories, to explore society’s and families’ responses to life with trauma and acquired invisible disabilities, and to openly address ableism.

This is a creative project of StoryMinders and Eleusis Films.
