About Disability Busters
Filmmaker Sarah Barton has set up Disability Busters to share more than 100 hours of film and television content about disability that she’s had a hand in making in her career of more than 20 years.
Sarah’s filmmaking career began in 1994 with the ground breaking documentary about sexuality and disability Untold Desires. You can see that film here at Disability Busters.
In 2003 she created the long running community television series No Limits which starred the wonderful Stella Young in her first television role. In 2014 Stella became an international sensation for her take on disability and inspiration with her TED talk I’m not your inspiration thank you very much. You can watch her early work on No Limits here at Disability Busters. No Limits is presented entirely by disabled people and is also a training space for disabled people to learn media production skills. Disability Busters has acquired the entire back catalogue of more than 180 episodes and will be releasing them over the coming months from the newest series completed in 2014 right back to the very first episodes from 2003.
We also have a catalogue of other great short films about disability including the comedy Casa Del Crip, the documentary Stroke A Chord (finalist in the ATOM Awards 2014 for best short documentary) and much more.
We’ll also be scouring the world to bring you the best great films about disability and we have more currently in production to look forward to. Defiant Lives is a feature documentary about the history of the disability rights movement. Filmed in America, England and Australia over six years it will finally be completed in mid 2016. Defiant Lives will be available online in 2020. If you would like to purchase a DVD or Blu Ray copy, or organise a community screening please visit the Defiant Lives website.
