Audience award winner 2005		 Greg Smith sits in his radio studio in front of a microphone and various sound equipment. Greg Smith rolls down a walkway in his wheelchair with a lit torch attached to the side, followed by a woman in an A.D.A. T-shirt. Greg Smith’s young daughter Berkeley, leaning against her hand with her elbow on a bed.
One in five Americans lives with a disability. Talk radio host Greg Smith broadcasts live from his power wheelchair. But taking a cab, or even switching off a light, can be a struggle. ON A ROLL reveals the challenges and successes of a 65-pound man—father, son and activist—striving for independence and the American Dream.
