IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE?

Filmmaker Ella Glendining’s global search for someone with a body that looks like hers, the film explores what it takes to love yourself fiercely as a disabled person in an ableist world.

“[A] warm-hearted, richly informative film.” ★★★★ - Edward Porter, The Sunday Times

“An education is what Glendining offers.” ★★★★ - Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

“Weaving together interviews, home movies and video diaries, this is a body-positive, life- affirming film” ★★★★ - Total Film

“Robustly edited… like 2020 Sundance breakout Crip Camp, Glendining’s film is a well argued and moving reminder that we still live in a world where too many see disability as something that needs to be ‘fixed’ rather than more willingly accommodated.” - Screen International

“Quite simply one of the best first-person documentaries about disability ever.”- The Curb

“A real celebration of humanity in all its diversity” - Filmmaker Magazine
