A Toolkit for Inclusion & Accessibility

FWD-Doc, in association with Doc Society, supported by Netflix, presents this toolkit for inclusion and accessibility to changing the narrative of Disability in documentary film.


This robust Toolkit for Inclusion & Accessibility also also features a case study about the award-winning feature documentary, "Crip Camp," with a view to best practice — not just compliance.

We find ourselves in an unprecedented moment of creative and financial opportunity for the documentary film industry, if we engage with authentic disabled storytelling and talent, make our media genuinely accessible, and better understand and cater to the world’s 1 billion D/deaf and disabled people — currently a seriously underserved audience for film.
