Disability Is - Young Disabled People’s Animation 1995

This is a short animation created in 1995 by young disabled people at Greater Manchester Coalition of Disabled People (GMCDP).

The animation was the product of a project exploring young disabled people’s experiences, expectations, aspirations and the barriers they face. It features the music of legendary disabled artist Ian Stanton and the voices of some of the young people who created the animation.

This animation is not currently accessible – we are working to improve this. An audio description was produced in 1995 on cassette tape, which is currently not available to digitise due to Coronavirus restrictions. We aim to re-create this audio description and produce a written description of the sound track soon.
