View from the Floor

Directed by Megan Griffiths, Mindie Lind
United States

5 mins

From a very early age Mindie Lind has had a deep obsession with performance and profound love of the stage. Mindie also has no legs, so it wasn’t long before news crews, national telethons, and even Maury Povich arrived to capture her in action, always portraying even the simplest activities as inspirational.

These early headlines of “Overcoming Obstacles Despite Disability” led Mindie to a lifelong struggle with imposter syndrome as she pursued her creative ambitions, always wondering if she’s a hit or a hack, talented or typecast, superstar or supercrip.

'View from the Floor' is screening with:
