s1e8: Disabled & Revolutionary with Tameka Citchen-Spruce
10:39
16:00

Shayla ZimmermanHOST
Can you tell us a little bit about him and why you chose to do a documentary about him specifically?
10:47
So I was asked to do it by a wonderful filmmaker and a friend of mine, Adele Mohammed.
11:00
And so she partnered with her and her team partnered with PBS American Masters to do this series called The Renegades.
11:13
And so it was important to her to have, it tells five stories, so to have five teams of all disabled filmmakers And so I was blessed and fortunate enough that she asked me to tell Thomas Wiggins' story in particular because it is believed that He had autism as well.

Shayla ZimmermanHOST
And so, yeah, I'm just wondering what other disabled revolutionaries you're thinking about and, yeah, bringing into your work.
