A ccessible Media Inc. (AMI) has unveiled its 2025-26 production slate for AMI-tv and AMI+, including two new docuseries and an untitled 60-minute documentary.
The slate – focused on telling a range of stories portraying Canadians with disabilities – includes Breaking Boundaries (working title), an 8 x 30-minute documentary series produced by Mike Wavrecan, Josephine Anderson and Sam Graham. The series follows Paralympic champion Tyler Turner immersing himself in unfamiliar sports.
The slate also includes History in 60 (Barbershop Films, 6 x 30 minutes), which features journalist and author John Loeppky attempting to distill moments of Canada’s disability history into 60 seconds; and an untitled 1 x 60-minute documentary from Mirror Image Media on April Hubbard, a disability advocate with a tethered spinal cord – a neurological disorder where the spinal cord is abnormally attached to the surrounding tissue – and chronic pain who is navigating the end of her life.
Earlier this month, AMI announced the 6 x 30-minute comedy Adapting, the first scripted series from Bread and Better Films, the scripted division of Vancouver’s Big Time Decent Productions. The series – based on a concept from father-daughter writing duo Garner and Rachael Ransom – is inspired by the latter’s experiences living with cerebral palsy while she was in high school. It will begin production in B.C.’s Lower Mainland this winter.
Returning series include second seasons of Game Changers (FRANK Digital), Got Game (Mountain Road Productions, Pretty Blind (formerly known as Low Vision Moments; Canadian Content Studios, Club Red Productions and Flow Video), Crip Trip (Catapult Pictures) and The Squeaky Wheel: Canada (Hitsby Entertainment).
