Overview

As the UK overhauls its benefits system, three disabled people navigate a hostile bureaucracy that demands constant proof of disability in order to access support. Through re-edited interviews and speculative imagery, the film reveals how enforced visibility restricts care. As an alternative, the film imagines aesthetic interdependence as a radical form of resistance.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A sharp, formally inventive documentary essay that exposes the cruelty embedded in welfare bureaucracy while proposing interdependence itself as an act of resistance. It is both urgent critique and speculative manifesto.
