Serena Growney, “Untold Stories in Public Transportation” (2024)
I made this documentary because of my dad, who faced daily discrimination due to his disability. He felt silenced and forgotten, so I asked him to share his story on film. Despite his nerves, he spoke openly about issues like bad curb cuts and being stood up by the bus, inspiring me to interview others with similar struggles.
My goal is to raise awareness about disability rights and advocate for better accessibility. Making this film was challenging, but the raw, unscripted moments were the most impactful. I hope this documentary highlights the importance of accessible transportation for everyone.
