Change, Not Charity: The Americans with Disabilities Act tells the emotional and dramatic story of the decades-long push for equality and accessibility that culminated in the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 1990. While curb cuts, ramps at building entrances, and braille on elevator buttons seem commonplace today, they were once the subject of a pitched battle that landed on the steps of Congress. Told through the voices of key participants and witnesses, the film highlights the determined people who literally put their bodies on the line to achieve their goal and change the lives of all Americans. A story of courage and perseverance, the film brings to life one of the great civil rights movements in American history, where ordinary people made their voices heard and Congress responded. A testament to the power of coalition building and bipartisan compromise, the passage of the ADA is a shining example of democracy in action.

"In Wallis and Futuna, disability has long lived in the shadows. Invisible to the world, those affected were marginalized, deprived of genuine recognition and a place in society. Behind closed doors, shame and fear of judgment mingled with the pain of families convinced that a child with a disability was a curse. Today, these superstitions are gradually fading. But the wounds of the past remain, and the path to acceptance and inclusion is still long. On this archipelago, it is urgent to make up for lost time in terms of recognition, support, and dignity for every person with a disability."
