Impact // Filmmaker’s Statement
We made this film for two reasons. 1) to educate people on the nuances of bipolar disorder, and in doing so, help to eradicate the stigma and 2) in the hopes that it’ll bring comfort to someone watching, even if that’s just one person — to make them feel less alone.

Impact // Filmmaker’s Voice
We hope audiences empathize and feel moved by this crucial human rights issue through Pamela Winn’s compelling personal story. We hope audiences feel inspired by Pamela’s story of resilience, strength and ultimate triumph and by the power one person can have in shaping laws that forward justice and dignity. We also hope audiences feel stirred to become advocates in their own right: to vote people into office who care about and will fight to pass laws protecting incarcerated pregnant people.

Dani’s Twins captures the high-risk pregnancy and dynamic early parenting journey of Dani Izzie, one of the world’s few quadriplegics ever to give birth to twins.
Impact // Filmmaker’s Voice
Our aim is for this film to be part of the current cultural moment that is seeing disabled people take ownership of disability narratives. When our experiences are authenticated through honest representation and the reappropriation of our own voices, we can catalyze change and foster inclusion. We’d like audiences to translate their deeper awareness into positive change, specifically:
–Improving access to reproductive healthcare for disabled people
–Eliminating discrimination affecting parental rights for people with disabilities
–Providing access to comprehensive caregiving and a functional care ecosystem
–Incentivizing companies to manufacture products and services that are universally designed and accessible
There is a dearth of information about disabled pregnancy and parenting. We are trying to help fill that gap through our film and impact campaign. Here are a few resources:

Impact // Filmmaker’s Voice
I hope that audiences are inspired by Aunofo’s story, particularly in the way she took a hostile relationship that her people had with the whales into a positive and mutually beneficial one. Her innovation in this area can be an inspiration to people around the world to create better relationships with the natural world and preserve it for generations to come. – Jack Gordon
