My father was, among other things a mountain climber (on the 1963 US Everest expedition and did the first ascent of Tyree in Antarctica), a skier (Corbet's Couloir at Jackson Hole is named after him), and a maker of adventure movies. Then he was in a helicopter accident and spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair. He used that time to show just how full a life with disability can be, and to help others to do the same.
"Full Circle" is a movie about him, and about Trevor Kennison, a young adventurer who has suffered a similar injury, and who is similarly unwilling to let it stop him:

It's a great film. But folks who wanted to see the screening in Denver were denied the chance when the theater canceled it. It seems that they were unprepared to deal with an audience that, it was expected, would include a large number of people in wheelchairs; they said it would be "unsafe for the community".
Not impressed. Hopefully they will be able to find a more enlightened venue sometime soon.
