Freedom Machines is an award-winning PBS program that dramatically reframes our views of disability. Riveting personal stories provide an overview of the human and legal dimensions related to issues of accessibility and inclusive education, employment, and independent living through the critical window of technology access. In this unique film, the legal changes of the last 35+ years inform the human struggles of citizens wanting to be active participants in their communities, together with parents and their kids seeking crucial resources from public education systems.
Among its subjects are Susanna Martini, a first-year college student whose mother fought for the tools and services to help her leave home and attend the University of Washington; 38 year-old Floyd Stewart who was paralyzed in mid-life while raising four children; 92 year-old Gladys Wang of San Francisco who is determined to overcome a hearing loss; and high school student Latoya Nesmith who dreams of becoming a translator at the United Nations. Freedom Machines shows how human ingenuity, universal design concepts, and societal commitment can change the world.

“I would like to do something with language, like translating songs into all different languages. I want to come up with a Polish opera. They have Italian opera, and French opera. I want to see if I could pull off a Dutch or Polish or something other than romance languages because the Slovak languages are nice too.”
