Summary:
"In 1971, Simi Linton was injured while hitchhiking to Washington to protest the war in Vietnam. Suddenly a young disabled college student, she confronted insidious forms of discrimination she couldn't have imagined before. Over time she joined forces with a vibrant disability community, and realized that political engagement, love, and
dance
could once again be central to her life. Rock n' Roll, dancing, and sexuality liberated Simi from the shame she felt as a young disabled woman.
Invitation
to
dance
traces Simi's first reluctant foray onto the
dance
floor at a party to present day when
dance
has become a central theme in her social life, activism, and work. Ultimately, the
film
is a never-before-told coming out story of disabled people staking their claim to 'equality, justice, and a place on the
dance
floor!'"--Container.
