The Disability Justice Project (DJP) trains disabled human rights defenders in documentary storytelling and is the first media platform dedicated to disability rights in global majority nations. Sending camera kits across continents, we work with disability activists and their affiliated organizations to develop cohesive messaging to shift perspectives and build systemic power.
An award-winning project of the Center for Independent Documentary (CID), the DJP is a leader in accessible media, incorporating captions, audio descriptions, and interactive transcripts into our videos and offering plain-language instructions on using our web site and its accessibility settings. Our activists are leading the way in inclusive filmmaking, demonstrating that with appropriate accommodations, people with a range of disabilities can actively engage in media production. Our films have been screened and placed in festivals around the world.
