Movie Time!
ETA: Forgot cut tags. Turns out they don't work the way I think they should anyway. Should I bother? Time for a poll.
There are amazing wonderful vids out there! I hear about some through political colleagues, and some through blogs, and some from just stumbling around. Feel free to drop links in comments (reminder: can't embed videos in DW comments).
Twenty seven summer 2013 interns at the American Association for People with Disabilities made a video meditating on the ADA's 23rd anniversary (open captions, audio description
POV, the documentary series for "films with a point of view" organized by the U.S. public broadcasting system, encouraged entrants to submit shorts a web-only contest. Two of these present nitty-gritty life with impairment
Grounded By Reality explores a day in the life of an artist and art teacher who has very little control over her body (closed captions, no audio description)
Sound of Vision uses unusual film technique as it follows a blind man through his days. As is often the case when artists or developers create parallel accessible and non-accessible versions, the film submitted to the contest (where it won six prizes) diverged from the audio-described version. There's a lot of sudden black/white shift in the film, which was headache inducing, so here's the audio description track I preferred (although I think the description should be slightly softer than the film track):
Stream or download MP3 of Sound of Vision with audio description
In addition to those shorts, POV has broadcast many films related to disability. Check 'em out:

And of course when I think of people with disabilities I think about sex, so here is a vital educational tool, Porn Sex vs Real Sex: The Differences Explained With Food (closed captioned, really could use an audio description but I’m too tired to make it.)
