At 27, Kelsey Peterson dove into Lake Superior, off the shores of Wisconsin, and emerged paralyzed. Now, the former dancer struggles to redefine who she is while adapting to life with a disability. At the intersection of acceptance and hope, Kelsey unexpectedly finds herself facing an opportunity to dance again, showing her a new path toward acceptance, all the while grappling with a decision to participate in a cutting-edge clinical trial that could bring her much-desired change -- forcing her to evaluate the possibilities of her recovery, body and spirit. In Move Me, a first-time filmmaker with a disability simultaneously takes the reins behind the scenes, while revealing her inner revolution through raw storytelling onscreen.

Katelyn Nelson Daily Grindhouse Perhaps the most important element of Move Me to come away with, however, are Kelsey’s observations about the differences between life before her accident and life now, and the way she finds humor in the smallest moments... Aug 4, 2024 Full Review Carey-Ann Pawsey Orca Sound The documentary is a celebration not just of Kelsey and what she has accomplished, but more generally, how all humans can be highly adaptable. Rated: 3/5 May 1, 2022 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix Engaging and often inspiring ... It’s a story that takes a realistic look at adjusting to life after paraplegia, although it’s told from a very privileged perspective of people who have the health insurance and the resources for ongoing medical care.
