Please join the Liaison Committee for Students with Disabilities, Educational Counseling & Disability Services and the Office of Diversity and Inclusion as we present a virtual film screening of the documentary, Roll With Me at 6:30 pm on Tuesday, March 16, 2021.

Set amidst 3,100 miles of open road and small towns, ROLL WITH ME chronicles recovering addict and paraplegic Gabriel Cordell’s momentous journey to become the first person to roll an unmodified wheelchair across America. Directed by Lisa France, the documentary bands together a crew of unlikely co-conspirators, each battling their own issues. Meaningful and motivating, ROLL WITH ME shares intimate narratives of PTSD, homelessness, unemployment, family estrangement and sobriety struggles. The film begins as a challenge to push an unmodified wheelchair from California to Cordell’s hometown of West Hempstead, New York, but along the way Cordell’s exploration of endurance establishes ties that speak to our common humanity. ROLL WITH ME is a 2018 Slamdance Official selection.

After the film screening, director Lisa France and film star Gabriel Cordell will join the Zoom to allow the audience to ask questions pertaining to the film. Anyone who needs accommodations for this event should contact Educational Counseling & Disabilities Services at ecds@ferris.edu or 231-591-3057.
