the film
Two Feet Below is a love story about Joey and Jason Rhode, a self-described “crip” couple who have been married 22 years and who live life to the fullest. Whether writing novels and poetry, creating paintings and photographs, going to concerts or getting tattoos, they overcome seemingly insurmountable odds to be just like regular folks. Despite facing challenges with mobility, medical care, and public misconceptions, together they find a way. There’s never been another couple quite like them, and here they offer their perspective from two feet below everyone else.
core theme
Joey and Jason. It’s them against the world. They live life on their own terms and want to be seen the same as anyone else, with no pity or patronization. As Jason says, “warts and all.” Their story is no fluff; the good, the bad, and the “fugly.” It’s a tale of finding unlikely love and sustaining that over a lifetime. Their hope is to raise awareness about their conditions and the difficulties they bring. A broken health care system, the misunderstanding of others, and physical limitations all stand in their way. In their own words, alongside with friends and family, this is a window into their world, the simple things most take for granted, and how these two extraordinary human beings manage to persist.
