A deeply personal and visually expressive documentary directed by Alexander Hammer, Room to Move follows acclaimed choreographer, dancer, and educator Jenn Freeman as she navigates the most transformative chapter of her life. At 33, her world is cracked open when she is diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, a neurodevelopmental disorder necessitating lifelong adaptation. Executive produced by Amy Schumer and Chris Fischer, and filmed with immersive intimacy by Hammer, Room to Move is not a dance documentary--it is a groundbreaking portrait of neurodivergence, identity, and the quiet power of finally being able to name your truth.
