Documentary Movie 'Corridor' (part 02)

In the first 3 years of the active presence on Macedonian social and political stage, Polio Plus has undertaken a lot of activities and projects, and put a huge efforts, regarding the actual position and treatment of people with disability in Macedonia, but especially from the legislative point of view. All that activities have resulted and were fulfilled with one very special and unique idea - during 2003 in Macedonian Parliament was established and promoted the first ever genuinely inter-party parliamentary lobby group (IPPLG) for people with disability. The IPPLG was focused on the promotion and improvement of the human rights of Macedonian population with disability, within the current general legislative process in Macedonia. The activities of this lobby-group, but in conjunction with those of the Wider Lobby Group (drawn from all sectors of the community) were focused on ensuring nationwide movement acting towards overcoming strong and still present discrimination against people with disability in Macedonia.
Regarding this unique process and lobby-story, as well as regarding all that was done by IPPLG, Polio Plus - movement against disability, being the initiator and creator of this lobby-group, decided to make 'testimony' for the next generations and to document existing and achievements of this lobby-group by movie. That's how Polio Plus produced an original and authentic documentary movie, titled as CORRIDOR. In one specific artistic way, the intention of Polio Plus with this documentary was to outline the work and all previous achievements of this lobby group, but also to highlight the challenges and further steps of the united lobbyists. In that context, intention was to use this movie as a tool for further lobbying and advocacy, and also for extended and stronger promotion of this successfully story as a possible inspirational example for other marginalized groups in Macedonian society and wider, becoming by itself the roll model for other states in the region.
