“A Stroke Of Endurance” has come a long way so far. Many fans have already expressed that “A Stroke Of Endurance” is their favorite Crip Video Productions film. People love that the characters in the film are of different ages and have different disabilities. The film has fans all the way in India. Once the film was uploaded many stroke survivors had contacted us to let us know they relate to the film, that it is very accurate to their experiences with stroke and disability and thanked us for getting our message across. We have already had a screening premiere of the film and we have at least 2 major public screenings planned which will hopefully occur in spring 2018.

When I first started writing I wasn’t sure how successful the film would be. It was roughly  based on my professor who had a stroke in 2015. When I first met him I could see he was very kind,generous, and very smart. Not just book smart. He could understand people very well and had good instincts. He was very expressive with his body language when teaching and had a vast knowledge of many subjects. He had this vibrancy where he would embrace life head on. He did not let fear control him. If I could re create even just a small piece of that spark, the bright light in him, I knew I could create something wonderful. With “A Stroke Of Endurance” I wanted to show disability comes with both good and bad aspects, because I felt certain movies only put emphasis on the bad aspects of disability. Since I kept seeing mass produced movies about disabled characters who wanted to die shortly after becoming newly disabled I wanted to make a film about a newly disabled person who wanted to live, not to die!  I wanted people who were new to the experience of life with a disability to know that they can come to us who have lived with disability from birth or childhood for support. Through my experiences in making “A Stroke of Endurance”. I realized that I knew things about life because of the CP that could be valuable to others in a sense that I was reminded that God gave me Cerebral Palsy and writing talents so I can help others with my films. It is my hope that my current and future work can let people know that disabled people are also made in the image of God and that their lives are highly valuable. 

I hope our fans continue to enjoy the film. To watch the film again or share the film with others see here!  http://cripvideoproductions.tumblr.com/post/167756665756/a-stroke-of-endurance-a-film-by-margot-cole-the
