Join Blue Origin and The Museum of Flight for a free film screening and panel discussion exploring the evolving landscape of accessibility and inclusion in aerospace and spaceflight.
Sophie Morgan's powerful film Fight to Fly sends a group of disabled travelers undercover to expose the shocking service they can experience while flying. From wheelchairs being broken to a passenger having to drag himself on the floor to use the toilet, this important documentary reveals the battle that disabled flyers face.
Following the film will be an engaging panel discussion with Sophie Morgan and Keely Cat-Wells, the founders of Making Space Media. The conversation will delve into the current accessibility challenges faced in commercial aviation and explore the emerging field of inclusive design in commercial human spaceflight, discussing how accessibility considerations are being integrated into this new frontier of space travel.
This is a unique opportunity to engage with leaders in the field of aerospace accessibility and gain valuable insights into the future of inclusive space exploration. Whether you're an aviation enthusiast, industry professional, or advocate for disability rights, this event promises to broaden perspectives and inspire change.
Accessibility: The film features open captions and the panel will include live ASL interpreters.
This event is FREE for all to attend. Please note that this event is after normal Museum hours and the rest of the Museum will be closed during the event.
