Hulu Doc Shines Light on Disability Rights

The documentary “Patrice: The Movie” is a heartwarming and inventive exploration of the lives of Patrice Jetter and Garry Wickham, a couple facing challenges due to the outdated rules of the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits program. Directed by Ted Passon, the film delves into the struggles faced by individuals with disabilities when it comes to love and marriage.

Patrice and Garry, both living with disabilities, met while working and formed a strong bond. Despite the obstacles they face, including the threat of losing their benefits if they get married, they remain committed to each other. The outdated “marriage penalty” rule of SSI, established in 1972, poses a significant barrier to their relationship, highlighting the need for change in legislation to reflect the evolving perspectives on disability and love.

The documentary follows Patrice and Garry as they navigate their daily lives, participate in protests, consult with disability rights lawyers, and advocate for change. Their friend, Elizabeth Dicker, also plays a significant role in the film, highlighting the challenges faced by individuals with sensory sensitivity issues.

One of the standout aspects of the film is the use of re-creations to depict Patrice’s past experiences and the generational trauma she has endured. Through these re-enactments, the audience gains insight into Patrice’s journey and the barriers she has faced in finding consistent support.

“Patrice: The Movie” challenges traditional narratives surrounding disability and inspires viewers to rethink their perceptions. The film avoids falling into the trap of “inspiration porn,” instead focusing on the strength, resilience, and determination of its protagonists. With a diverse cast and a thoughtful exploration of disability rights, the documentary sheds light on the importance of inclusivity and representation in media.

It serves as a reminder of the importance of creating a more inclusive and equitable society for all individuals, regardless of their abilities.
