What happens to disabled people in developing nations? A Wheelchair for Petronilia provides a poignant lens by focusing on the efforts of Guatemala-based Transitions, a non-profit organization with physically challenged members that design, build, and provide wheelchairs able to navigate Guatemala’s often rugged terrain – providing a model for many people in other nations facing similar challenges. Produced by Bob Gliner (Being 80, Walk the Walk, We're Still Here), this powerful film demonstrates the ability to overcome adversity despite seemingly impermeable obstacles that stand in the way.
