One of the few quadriplegics ever to give birth to twins, Dani Izzie’s determination and highly unusual health risks combined with the COVID-19 pandemic biases of those around her made for an award-winning documentary. More than just a film, Dani’s Twins is a compelling journey that breaks down prejudices and makes audiences question their assumptions about people living with disabilities can and can not accomplish.
