In the 1980’s, with schools continuing to deny access to children with disabilities despite PL 94-142 which guaranteed this right, mothers challenged the system by enrolling their children in mainstream schools. Filmed over the course of nearly three decades, 29 Years chronicles the lives of Bong, Sarah and Dan, who were unknowingly among the young pioneers opening the door to mainstream education. Producers John Anglim and Susan Hadary, using archival and new footage create a timeline from elementary school to current day adult life, presenting life portraits of three very unique individuals, who while acknowledging their disability as part of who they are, embrace and live the mainstream life of friends, relationships, careers and happiness.
