“Judy-Lynn del Rey: The Galaxy Gal” tells the story of a woman with dwarfism who revolutionized the world of science fiction by editing and publishing books from sci-fi writers such as Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, Philip K. Dick and George Lucas’ “Star Wars” in novel form. See how science fiction narratives, through their speculative and imaginative nature, offer a more inclusive and equitable lens through which to redefine disability.

RENEGADES is a documentary series that showcases the lives and cultural contributions of little-known historical figures with disabilities. Explore the lives of Judy-Lynn del Rey, visionary sci-fi editor; Daniel K. Inouye, Hawai’i’s first representative; Celestine Tate Harrington, champion for parents’ rights; Thomas Wiggins, pianist prodigy; and Brad Lomax, disability rights advocate. Hosted by award-winning musician and disability rights advocate Lachi. New episodes drop every Tuesday starting October 1.
