The photo was posted on the "Rightfooted: A documentary film about Jessica Cox" Facebook Page with the caption: "You don't need arms to return a hug... or give one. Jessica Cox with RE who was also born without arms"
"Jessica Cox" and links to stories about the photo are trending on Facebook.
Arizona Daily Star reporter Stephanie Innes wrote about the documentary in November:
For anyone who thinks disabilities are a social hindrance, Cox is proof that such thinking is flawed. Upbeat and extroverted, she has a large circle of friends and is married to Patrick Chamberlain, her former tae kwon do instructor.
The story of Chamberlain's romance with Cox is documented in "Rightfooted."
Filmmaker Nick Spark is now a California resident, but he graduated from University High School and from the University of Arizona, where he was a Flinn Scholar. He produced and wrote the Emmy-award-winning documentary "The Legend of Pancho Barnes and the Happy Bottom Riding Club," which screened at The Loft Cinema in 2009.
Spark is particularly committed to ensuring "Rightfooted" is screened internationally, since many other countries are far behind the U.S. on disability rights.
