'Voluntariosa' Wins First Festival Award
Voluntariosa is the Spanish word for ‘willful’ which is exactly the word that Sara’s family uses to describe her. Follow Sara’s journey through chronic injury, amputation of her leg, and into the mountains, all while fighting for her own mobility every step of the way. Sara now volunteers for the Range of Motion Project (ROMP) in their Quito clinic helping other Ecuadorian amputees get access to prosthetic care and changing their vision of what’s possible post-amputation.
