Shameless: The ART of Disability is a documentary film by Bonnie Sherr Klein about persons with disabilities. Produced in 2006 by the National Film Board of Canada, it is Klein's first film since a catastrophic stroke in 1987 left her a quadriplegic. The film explores disability culture and the transformational power art has for people with disabilities.[1][2]

Klein is featured in the film, along with fellow artists with disabilities Catherine Frazee, a poet and writer; humourist David Roche; dancer and choreographer Geoff McMurchy; and writer and artist Persimmon Blackbridge. Vancouver musician Veda Hille contributed music for the film.[1][3][4]

Klein gathers these artists for a pyjama party where they explore Hollywood stereotypes of people with disabilities. The artists decide to meet a year later at Vancouver's Kickstart Festival with the intent of creating their own images of disability.[1][4]

The film is set mainly in British Columbia, in Vancouver, Roberts Creek and Hornby Island, with brief sequences in San Francisco and Nova Scotia's Annapolis Valley.[3]
