Description:
|
Nancy Mairs is nationally known in the USA as a writer about disability who thinks and composes from her personal angle of observation, in a wheelchair with multiple sclerosis. Her highly personal essays complete seven books, most notably "Waist-High in the World", also the title of this film. Here we see Mairs speaking at universities, traveling, training her dog to assist her, talking to college classes; she provokes us to think with her readings and with her life writ large in her own embodiment. The documentary ranges fully across the emotional spectrum of both Nancy and her husband George. As filmmaker, it is my hope and impression that this work inspires us all. |
