On a Roll: Disability and the American Dream
Greg Smith and his family bare all in this unflinching portrait of a 65-pound man striving for the American dream. Fueled by discrimination, Smith created “On a Roll” talk radio from his wheelchair in 1992. The father of three travels the globe but finds his own nation’s capital inaccessible – a minor challenge compared to living independently and having safe intimate relationships.
