Director and video producer Justin Cooper, who works as an entrepreneur out of the 36Squared Business Incubator in the McKinley Park neighborhood of Chicago, presents "The Wheelchair Chronicles" with the support of the Disability Culture Activism Lab (DCAL) at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the Illinois Arts Council Agency.

The film, an autobiographical short documentary about the director's life, follows Cooper as he discusses the intersection of being black and disabled, using public transportation, and how "he is not your inspiration."
