518    Originally produced by Kino Lorber Edu in 2014. 
520    Invitation to Dance is an eye-opening insider's account of
       disability in 21st century America. Simi Linton's story 
       forms the narrative backbone of the documentary. The film 
       traces both her personal growth as a disabled woman, and 
       the larger historically significant developments around 
       her over the past 40 years. Simi serves as navigator and 
       tour guide to a world largely unknown, generally isolated,
       and commonly dismissed. In 1971, Simi Linton was injured 
       while hitchhiking to Washington to protest the war in 
       Vietnam. Suddenly a young disabled college student, she 
       confronted insidious forms of discrimination she couldn't 
       have imagined before. Over time she joined forces with a 
       vibrant disability community, and realized that political 
       engagement, love, and dance could once again be central to
       her life. Rock n' Roll, dancing, and sexuality liberated 
       Simi from the shame she felt as a young disabled woman. 
       Invitation to Dance traces Simi's first reluctant foray 
       onto the dance floor at a party to present day when dance 
       has become a central theme in her social life, activism, 
       and work. Ultimately, the film is a never-before-told 
       coming out story of disabled people staking their claim to
       "equality, justice, and a place on the dance floor!"
