About this listen

In this episode, Nora speaks to Daisy Friedman, a writer, director, and multi-organ transplant recipient. We talk about Daisy’s story: she received critical transplants as a child which led to her current work as a filmmaker exploring themes of tradition, intimacy, embodiment, and disability.

We discuss the complexities of chronic illness, societal perceptions of disabled bodies, and the empowerment found in creative expression. Daisy talks about her latest short film, Unholy, and how personal experiences shape her work. The episode also touches on the importance of community and the role of art in navigating and articulating the lived experiences of disabled individuals.
