Patrice: The Movie, currently streaming on Hulu, tells the story of Patrice Jetter and Garry Wickham, a disabled couple whose desire to get married is impeded by government bureaucracy.
Patrice is an outspoken activist for the rights of the disabled, and she tells ABC Audio there’s a simple reason why she speaks out.
"Because what's happening is an injustice to not just me and my friends, but an injustice to everyone with a disability all over the country," she says. "Somebody has to be willing to not be afraid to speak up."
