Today I sit down with Emma Rimsa and Nate Hamilton of Miter Box Media. They are the creators of a new award winning documentary “The Power to Move” a Powerful film that tells the story of Thomas Quiter a man with Osteo Genesis Imperfecta (Brittle Bone Disease) who for 5 years was denied access to the mobility device that would actually help him to Independently integrate himself into his community. While leaving him trapped to the confines of his home. Like Thomas, millions of Americans struggle with bureaucracy and insurance companies just to get the equipment they need to live independently in their communities.

The documentary was so powerful I had to meet the team and I'm glad I did, because I see the passion that drives them to tell this story and introduce a solution oriented approach that Tom and his crew of the mobility independence foundation (themif.org) have established by utilizing open source hardware to create mobility devices that work for the people that need them and making the designs available to all that need it. This move enables folks to build and repair their own mobility device without the “Intellectual Property” restraints most companies use.
