Espocinema LLC presents Special Needs Revolt!, a bold depiction of a group of developmentally disabled individuals fighting back against a tyrannical regime in a dystopian America.
Billy Bates, a young man with Down syndrome, wakes from a three-year coma to discover that the United States has been turned into a brutal dictatorship thanks to President Kruger. This narcissistic despot with bad hair has put all people with disabilities into institutions. Billy becomes the leader of a diverse group of resistance fighters committed to ending Kruger’s reign of terror. An action-comedy starring people with disabilities.
The film addresses issues that are very much on the minds of many developmentally disabled adults: the desire to be portrayed as functional adults, with the full range of adult emotions and desires. Special Needs Revolt! is an incisive, funny political comedy, full of over-the-top visceral action.
