Roll of a Lifetime

---

A lack of accurate information on the realities of living with a disability such as SCI have resulted in an overwhelming number of people with disabilities failing to recognize or even attempt to achieve their potential as active, productive, vital and fully-realized members of society.



Project description

"Roll of a Lifetime" is a documentary on the life of Ellen Stohl who, despite an SCI at the age of nineteen, defied her own expectations by: becoming the first disabled woman to appear in a Playboy pictorial; obtaining a BA in Communications, an MS Educational Psychology and Counseling, and a K–8 multi–subject clear credential; touring and lecturing world–wide on sexuality and body image as they relate specifically to physical disability; operating a highly–successful business advocating for disabled rights and acceptance; owning and extensively renovating her own home; at the age of 39 becoming pregnant, giving birth to a daughter and now raising that daughter while continuing to pursue both her artistic and professional goals.

Inter–Nation Cultural Foundation and Change For Balance Productions have teamed up with Ellen Stohl to create this documentary.

Also being created is a motivational documentary: Veterans for Disabled Veterans.
