In time for International Day of Persons with Disabilities, this Friday, Dec. 3, ABC Owned Television Stations has produced “Our America: Accomplices – The Story of Ady Barkan,” which is set to premiere the same day on Hulu.
The half-hour special follows the story of Ady Barkan, a lawyer and activist who has become a vocal advocate for exposing the inequities in the American healthcare system since being diagnosed with Als in 2016. Barkan, who had fought for social justice for historically underrepresented and marginalized communities long before his diagnosis, has focused on the challenges that disabled and senior communities face since experiencing firsthand some of those issues.
