A person in a motorized wheelchair is shown triumphantly soaring in front of a road sign that reads ‘The Ride Ahead,’ with a vibrant city skyline in the background.

AWSP is a proud supporter of the new film, THE RIDE AHEAD, from father-son co-directors Samuel Habib & Dan Habib (creator of Including SamuelWho Cares About Kelsey?, and Intelligent Lives).  THE RIDE AHEAD is the feature-length version of their Emmy Award-winning New York Times Op-Doc, My Disability Roadmap.


Film synopsis:
  Samuel Habib is a typical 21-year-old, itching to move out, start a career, and find love. But no one tells you how to be an adult, let alone an adult with a disability. Can a community of disability activists help him follow his dreams?

Because AWSP was an early supporter of the film, we can make free copies of the Education Kit available, which will enable you to hold a public screening and continue to use the extensive resources in the Kit in perpetuity for professional development, transition planning, screening events, etc. 
 
 
In order to receive your Kit, please fill out this form. The film team will then be in touch with you in coming weeks.
 
We urge you to take advantage of this opportunity to create cutting-edge awareness and discussions about:
  • Disability justice
  • The vast possibilities for young adults with disabilities as they transition into adulthood
  • Life planning strategies
  • The critical role of mentorship
