THE RIDE AHEAD is the feature-length version of the Emmy Award-winning New York Times Op-Doc, My Disability Roadmap. After graduating high school Samuel Habib, who has serious health, communication, and mobility challenges, feels ‘stuck’ and falling behind his peers. He wants to go to college, make new friends, date, move out of his parents’ home. “But no one tells you how to be an adult,” he says, “let alone an adult with a disability.” Samuel is determined to avoid the statistical realities for most adults with disabilities: unemployment, isolation, or institutionalization. He decides to travel to meet some badass disabled adults and make a film that charts how they built full adult lives—as a roadmap for himself and others.

THE RIDE AHEAD illustrates the compelling power of one person truly determined to live life on his own terms as he navigates the barriers before him, while energizing those around him. Together with a loving family and a community of friends, Samuel pushes forth his life’s “ride ahead.”
