LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, July 21, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Freestyle Digital Media, the digital film distribution division of Byron Allen’s Allen Media Group, has just released the powerful and captivating documentary feature MEANDERING SCARS -- now available on North American digital HD internet, DVD, cable, and satellite platforms on July 21, 2026. MEANDERING SCARS premiered at Dances With Films in 2025.
MEANDERING SCARS follows Erika Bogan—a mother, wheelchair athlete, former Ms. Wheelchair America 2010, and domestic violence survivor—as she attempts to accomplish what only a handful of wheelchair users have ever done: climb to the peak of Mount Kilimanjaro. Her purpose is to save lives by raising awareness about suicide, suicidal ideation, and mental health struggles within the disabled community, all while honoring friends and family lost to suicide. Ultimately, the documentary is not just about the climb and its message. It also chronicles Erika’s journey as a disabled person in America, exploring how inaccessibility, perceived burdensomeness, and systemic financial turmoil contributed to her deteriorating mental health.
Written, directed and produced by Kody Leibowitz and Allison Norlian, MEANDERING SCARS features interviews with Erika Bogan, Joey McGlamory, Johnathan Hartis, Dr. Lauren Khazem, Claudia Clayton, James Clayton, Kaliyah Hill, and Skylynn Hagler.
“As filmmakers, we believe stories have the power to help people feel seen and less alone,” said filmmakers Allison Norlian and Kody Leibowitz. “Our hope is that MEANDERING SCARS encourages honest conversations about mental health, resilience, and the lasting impact of our experiences. We're honored that this distribution partnership will allow the film to reach audiences who may find pieces of themselves within it."
Freestyle Digital Media negotiated a deal to acquire MEANDERING SCARS directly with the filmmakers and Glen Reynolds of Circus Road Films.
