More about Despite the Loss
In his directorial debut Jason Schneider set out to parallel
his own story of overcoming adversity on the racetrack with stories
of others like him. His thesis? That amputees don’t see the world
through, or buy into, a disabled label. But when an accident forces
him to question the very meaning of disability, his sense of self
unravels. Through personal accounts, interviews with the people who
know him best, and profiles from a diverse group of amputees, Jason
dissects and reframes his life, intertwining the trials and
tribulations of building a race car with his personal journey for
self acceptance.
