Watch my latest short doc: Lego Oma

My short doc about the German Lego Oma, who builds wheelchair ramps from Lego to raise awareness for the (in)accessibility in Germany, is now available for a small fee on Vimeo on Demand. All income goes directly to Chronic Pain Partners, a non-profit organization.

Chronic Pain Partners Post (EDS Newsletter) – In collaboration with EDS Awareness

raise my head and make a step forward
