Trailer for the documentary Invitation to Dance.
Simi Linton's personal story forms the narrative backbone of Invitation To Dance, a film based on her memoir My Body Politic. In 1971, she was injured while hitchhiking to Washington to protest the war in Vietnam. Suddenly a young disabled college student in New York, Simi confronts insidious discrimination she couldn't have imagined before. She emerges as a resourceful activist, and in time realizes that love, sexuality, and dance can once again be central to her life.
