Hollywood’s Disability Revolution | San Antonio News

Siân Heder’s new film “Being Heumann” isn’t just a biopic—it’s a bold Hollywood reckoning. Centered on disability rights icon Judy Heumann, the film captures her pivotal 28-day sit-in demanding accessibility, starring Ruth Madeley (spina bifida) and featuring an all-disabled core cast. Heder, inspired by “CODA,” aims to storm Hollywood’s gates and make invisible people visible—literally, by building accessible sets from scratch. With raw energy and real collaboration, it’s “Dog Day Afternoon” with disabled voices at its heart, proving that representation isn’t optional—it’s revolutionary.
