PATRICE: THE MOVIE is part of a “disability rebrand” in the tradition of films like Crip Camp, Fire Through Dry Grass, and I Didn’t See You There, which seek to center stories of disabled people and move the storytelling lens from the “medical model” of disability to the “social model”. The medical model links disability diagnosis to an individual’s physical body, supposing that this disability may reduce the individual’s quality of life and the aim is, with medical intervention, this disability will be diminished or corrected.
