Feel the Force Day events are truly unconventional conventions. They are film and TV conventions designed for disabled people.
They found over many years that film, TV and comic conventions are just not able to allow full access to the subject they promote, so they decided to do something about it.
As people who work with, live with, are friends with and are disabled people, they have a strong understanding of what makes for good access and wanted to bring that to people in a fun way.
They understand that access is about more than just a ramp and a disabled loo. It’s about contact, smell, texture, understanding. Subtle and nuanced things that make life easier for you no matter your need or impairment…even the difficulty in proving you’re actually disabled in the first place can be a challenge…even it’s it’s blindingly obvious.
