Imperfect is a story of artists who live and perform with the uniqueness of disability, having been denied their place in the spotlight.
The documentary follows a professional company of actors with all nature of disabilities – including spinal cord injury, Parkinson’s Disease, cerebral palsy, autism, low vision/blind, and multiple sclerosis – as they attempt an unprecedented version of the musical Chicago. The actors open the backstage door for the viewer, giving a rare and unfiltered look at the details of their daily lives, in and out of the theatre. The film chronicles their intimate stories as they persevere against obstacles in a world that excludes them.
imperfect re-humanizes people with disabilities, and gives everyone — disabled and nondisabled — permission to let go of inhibitions and ask the question, “Imperfect: aren’t we all?”
