I AM ABLE

By Ryan Wilkes

Larissa Crawford, a Canadian woman of mixed Jamaican and Métis descent, fights for climate justice and representation in the national environmental movement to preserve the planet for future generations while battling a chronic pain disability. In this film, Larissa recounts the story of struggling to balance raising her young daughter with self-care, fighting for climate justice, representation, and anti-racism, while reconnecting with and exploring her indigenous and afro-caribbean heritage. Larissa takes us on a journey of self-discovery and acceptance as she learns to continue her important work while living with a disability.
