Tullidos

At the end of 2018, more than £ 28 billion was cut as a result of the British Government's policies on social security, housing, employment and healthcare, specifically targeting the disabled community. In the age of austerity, people with disabilities are the most affected and there are almost four million in the UK. This is in addition to a situation where half of the poor are disabled or live with a disabled person. Ryan tells the story of the people most affected by this devastating regime, who have been silenced too often: a quadriplegic man who is forced to crawl down the stairs of his house because his city council does not provide him with accessible housing, a young woman who She sleeps in her wheelchair and that she was admitted to hospital malnourished because cuts took away the caregiver who helped her to bed or cook or a young woman with bipolar disorder forced to turn to sex work to survive. Through these personal stories, Ryan exposes the scale of the crisis, while showing how the disabled community is fighting for their rights. And it sketches how in recent years the public attitude towards people with disabilities has shifted from compassion to contempt.
