Q&A with Jason DaSilva and Carlos Rios-Espinosa, Senior Researcher, Disability Rights Division, Human Rights Watch
New Yorker Jason DaSilva is facing the life-changing decision of whether to relocate to Austin, Texas, to be closer to his young son who has moved in with his mother following their recent divorce. Facing a rapidly progressing form of multiple sclerosis and experiencing a swift decline in his motor skills, DaSilva soon learns that the harsh restrictions of the U.S. Medicaid system would prevent him from accessing the services he needs to live life as fully as possible and from being the dad he wants to be for his young son. Left with this heartbreaking choice, When We Walk, the follow-up to DaSilva’s Emmy Award-winning film When I Walk, reflects on Jason’s own childhood and relationship with his father, making his fight to keep his son resonate even more powerfully.
