Vivien’s Wild Ride

After a long career in cinema, film editor Vivien Hillgrove starts losing her sight, forcing her to reexamine past traumas and relationships, and to reinvent herself and her art.

Directed by Vivien Hillgrove, Vivien’s Wild Ride is a story of resistance and resilience. The documentary captures a story of transformation on many levels, reimagining what it means to see and to belong through acts of creation, connection, and caring, not just biology.

SADC produced the audio description for the film, which has its World Premiere at the San Francisco International Film Festival April 18th and 19th. Closed captions and audio description will be available.

Written by Project Lead Cheryl Green, who also captioned the film. Blind QC by Robert Kingett. Narrated by Nefertiti Matos Olivares and non-member Ruth Kahn. Audio edited by Thomas Reid.
