Reviewed by Nicole Jesse, Central Library, Buffalo & Erie County Public Library, Buffalo, NYRight Footed is a documentary about Jessica Cox, a woman born without arms. The journey is inspiring and encouraging to all ages. Jessica’s life story takes place over two years of her life, but not the main focus. Being able to do anything you set your mind to, and never giving up is the fundamental take away in this brilliant film.
The second vital message is activism and human rights for those with disabilities across the world. Viewers see Jessica become an activist on a global scale, trying to have the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) Treaty passed in Congress to help those with disabilities on a global level, where they lack many rights.
This multi-award winning film is a first-rate addition to any academic or public library and is appropriate for a wide range of age levels and different classroom subjects.
