Disability is still marginalized in mainstream media, often either hidden or romanticized. In lieu of this, Christine's presence on MasterChef and now in the culinary industry is actually revolutionary. She’s not “inspiring” because she’s blind. She’s inspiring because she’s excellent - and her blindness is an essential part of that excellence. A documentary now would reflect a broader shift toward inclusive storytelling, where disabled people are creators, leaders, and innovators, and not simply side characters.
Christine’s story offers healing. A Christine Ha documentary is not just timely - it’s essential. It speaks to who we are, where we come from, and what we’re becoming. In telling her story, we learn how to see differently. How to meet the moment - fully, and on our own terms.
