If by _resources_ you mean to include films that feature disabled
characters, the Internet Movie Database gave me a list of 25 whose plot
summaries include the term _disabled_. But you should also search
_wheelchair_ and other key terms, as the list did not include The Best
Years of Our Lives, Coming Home, Born on the Fourth of July, My Left Foot,
Passion Fish, or Cutter's Way. Then there's Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove!
(Maybe you'll have to revise your perception of _scarcity_!)
