Hope Is Not A Plan is a film about you and everybody you know. 56 percent of Canadians over the age of 75 are disabled. The majority of Canadians will live to their 80s. This means, you or someone close to you will most likely get a disability.
This documentary film shows the consequences for Canadians with disabilities from a fact hidden in plain sight: most Canadians with disabilities, unlike Americans with disabilities, do not have a practical way to enforce the civil rights guaranteed to them by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Through interviews with experts and people with disabilities from across Canada, such as Paul Caune, one of the founders of Civil Rights Now!, gold medal winning Paralympian Paul Gauthier and Courage to Come Back award recipient Zosia Ettenberg, Hope Is Not A Plan shows how not having a practical way to enforce your civil rights makes you vulnerable.
When your civil rights are violated you don’t need a good hug, you need a good lawyer.
