Ask Jordan a question!

In this episode of What's Your Limp? Jordan chats with filmmaker, Jenni Gold!

Jenni directed the acclaimed documentary Cinemability, which tracks the history of disability in the film industry and explores how disabled characters and actors are portrayed and perceived in Hollywood. The reason that Jenni is passionate about this topic is because she is disabled herself. Jenni has muscular dystrophy and is a wheelchair user. Women filmmakers have a hard enough time getting opportunities in this business, but it becomes even harder when you add a disability into the mix. But that hasn't stopped Jenni from pursuing her dreams and proving time and time again, that she has a place in Hollywood and is just as capable as her able-bodied peers.

Listen to her episode now and then go check out Cinemability!
