When We Walk
editWhen We Walk is a 2019 feature documentary film by director Jason DaSilva, a sequel to his 2013 film When I Walk.[1] The film explores DaSilva's relationship with his son and how accessibility comes into play when considering how DaSilva will be able to spend time with his son as he grows up. The film has received a media arts grant from the Canada Council Of the Arts and premiered at Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival in 2019.
Picking up where his previous film When I Walk left off, DaSilva continues working while his health rapidly worsens. He has lost ability to use his hands properly, his vision is poor (he is now legally blind), and his upper body has greatly weakened. This has moved him towards looking at adaptation and assistive devices for people with disabilities. DaSilva continues to develop and create stories that center around the themes of disability, health and social inclusion in a more authentic matter in order to help provide a positive social change surrounding the subjects in the future.[2] DaSilva also continues to grow his media project AXS Map, mapping cities around the world for their accessibility.
