> When non-disabled people tell our stories, we only get to have three stories: ‘Help me, I’m disabled.’ ‘Cure me.’ ‘Kill me.’ We have to tell our own stories.

The [Hot Docs Festival](https://hotdocs.ca/?ref=creativeconnector.art) is coming **April 25th – May 5th**, with a selection of screenings with open and closed captioning, as well as live captioning or ASL interpreters for these screenings’ introductions and Q&As whenever possible. 

A feature this year is *The Ride Ahead*, which follows Samuel as he navigates the path to adulthood with a disability, reaching out to disability activists across the country for wisdom. 

In this expansion of his short film *Disability Roadmap* (Hot Docs 2022), director Samuel Habib is a typical 21-year-old, itching to move out of the family nest, start a career and find sex, love and partnership.

The film is directed by [Samuel and his father, Dan Habib](https://likerightnowfilms.com/collaborators?ref=creativeconnector.art), and aims to transform awareness, promote understanding of ableism, and produce lasting and meaningful cultural change for young adults with disabilities. 

This film screens **April 28th** and **April 30th**.
