Persons with disabilities are more likely to experience adverse socioeconomic outcomes such as less education, poorer health outcomes, lower levels of employment, and higher poverty rates.
Roughly 15% of the world's population, or one billion people, experience some form of a disability. Capable: Navigating Mental Health & Disability is a short documentary series produced by Twentytwenty Arts in partnership with
Liebs & Co. that aims to de-stigmatize disability through personal storytelling.
A recent study found that adults with disabilities report experiencing more mental distress than those without disabilities. This short documentary series aims to examine the complexity of living with a disability.
Capable showcases a series of interviews with individuals from diverse backgrounds, including artists, edeucators, musicians, and advocates. It will be available exclusively on Youtube,
